After a lackluster late May - early June stretch that featured a 8-18 record for the Brewers, they are back on track and have now gone 12-2 in their last 14. They took down Houston again today with an 11th inning 3 run homer from Damian Miller, pushing their hot streak along impressively.
With their youthful infield gelling, the outfield tearing it up ( Corey Hart is on fire) and playing extraordinarily well, and the pitching holding their own, the Brewers are looking dominant in the NL Central again. Milwaukee is now 7.5 ahead of the Cubs, who have been holding their own lately with a nice 6 game win streak, and its hard to see that gap closing anytime soon.
Ask any GM around the league which infield they would choose to have for the next five years, EVERY GM would choose the Brewers. Doug Melvin deserves some serious credit for building this team of quality players who are also quality men.
