April 18, 2019 Rick Solem

First St. Louis, then LA … then LA and again, St. Louis. If you think the Milwaukee Brewers are just playing St. Louis and LA teams, you’re pretty close to correct. There was a stint in there against the Cubs and Reds. But, so far, 13 of the Brewers 19 games have been against the […]
