Bullpen dominance carries Brewers into first World Series since 1982
Aaron Ashby believes the trust among the Milwaukee Brewers relievers enables each of them to take the mound without having too much of a weight on their shoulders. That bullpen has done much of the heavy lifting in getting the Brewers to their first World Series since 1982. Relievers allowed just six runs over 40 2/3 innings during Milwaukee’s 3-1 series victory over the San Diego Padres in the NL Division Series and four-game sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL Championship Series.
The Brewers open the World Series on Friday by hosting either Tampa Bay or Cleveland.
