The game was essentially over in the first inning, when the Brewers had five hits and a walk. As usual, the Brewers bullpen was astounding. They pitched 4 2/3 and allowed no hits or walks. (The Dodgers got one baserunner on a HBP.) If the Brewers didn’t have to use a starter, they’d be unbeatable.
Jesus Aguilar was their hitting star with two doubles and a single, three RBI. Aguilar was a helluva pick-up by the Brewers. The Indians couldn’t find a spot for him after nine years in their system and some big numbers in the minors (188 homers in the minors and the winter leagues). They dumped him. The Brew-crew picked him up on waivers, and are paying him the minimum allowable. They love him. In 771 at bats he has 51 homers and 165 RBI. Assuming a full season of 600 at-bats, that works out to 40 homers and 128 RBI per season. Not bad for a minimum wage guy!
