Words cannot describe how badly the Milwaukee Brewers dominated the Pittsburgh Pirates this week. Here's a look at the pitching/hitting stats for the series.

Randy Wolf had as many hits as the Pirates middle infield (Wolf: 2-3; Iwamura and Cedeno 2-21).

The Pirates team ERA (already a league worst going into the series) raised from 6.34 to 7.23.
The Brewers team ERA dropped from 6.06 to 4.88.
The Pirates were averaging 4.42 runs per game coming into the series. That dropped to 3.53 after the series.
The Brewers were averaging 5.42 runs per game. That ballooned to 6.73 after the series, which is good for tops in MLB.
Anyway you look at it, this one of the most lopsided series in history of baseball.
Coming into this roadtrip, the Brewers had to like their chances. Playing nine games against the Cubs, Nationals and Pirates should be an easy roadtrip. But after dropping four of the first five, the Brewers were staring a losing road trip in the face. They scored 47 runs over the next four games, winning all of them. That secured a winning road trip.
The Brewers will now head home to face the Chicago Cubs. Stay tuned for a preview coming soon.

Might be one of the most dominant series in Brewers history. They never were even really in a game. Hopefully we can keep some momentum against the scrubs. Thanks for the stats big guy.
