Brewers Sweep Twins With A 6-2 Win Sunday

The Milwaukee Brewers continued their stellar play at home as they got a 6-2 win Sunday and a series sweep over the struggling Twins. Milwaukee has used the same formula that has worked for them in the past and that is strong pitching and timely hitting. Chris Narveson who has struggled at times came through with a fine performance. Narveson went 6.2 innings giving up just five hits and two earned runs. Along the way he did strike out seven batters. If the Brewers can get Chris Narveson more consistent the Brewers will be awful tough.

Ryan Braun got a hit to extend his hitting streak to 17 games. Yuniesky Betancourt got three hits to help pace a Milwaukee team that has been hitting the ball well at least in the Twins series. Milwaukee's Prince Fielder also added to his RBI total and now stands at 68. Milwaukee is tough at home, but they still need to improve on the road if they want to be considered a real title contender.
