This series was absolutely terrible. The Pirates never lead at any point and were pretty much outclassed by a fairly mediocre Brewers ballclub. Miller Park continues to be a House of Horrors for the Pirates as they have gone 18-63 there since 2007.

The biggest sign of Miller Park being cursed for the Pirates was the success of Keon Broxton in this series. He entered play hitting just .135/.256/.203/.459. on the season. In the three games, he went 4-8 with a home run, two RBIs, and a run scored. The Pirates could not get him out in the series.
The Pirates will have a day off to recover from their sweep at the hands of the Brewers before traveling to Atlanta to begin a three-game series with the Braves. Game one will feature Gerrit Cole facing Mike Foltynewicz. First pitch is at 7:10pm.
