The Milwaukee bats still haven't readjusted to facing Major league pitching again...

The Brewers outscored the Pirates in the series by a whopping 36-1 margin. It was the largest run differential in a three-game series since Detroit handled Minnesota, 45-10, in a sweep from April 23-25, 1993. The Tigers won those games by scores of 12-4, 17-1 and 16-5 as part of a prolific opening month that also included a 20-4 win over the A's and a 20-3 win over the Mariners.

• The Brewers' combined 35-run margin in their three games at PNC Park was the largest by a National League team in a three-game series in 109 years -- since the Brooklyn Dodgers posted wins by scores of 25-6, 16-2 and 9-2 over the Reds at League Park in Cincinnati in 1901.
