The Brewers come rolling into town today from north of the Cheddar Curtain riding an eight-game winning streak and with a four-game lead in the NL Central. They’ve won 30 of 48 going back to July 1 and they’ve been a great last season team under manager Craig Counsell. Milwaukee is 200-166 (.546) in the final two months of the season since Counsell took over, counting this year but discounting the shortened 2020 season.
