Across the last three weeks’ worth of games, the Milwaukee Brewers have gone head-to-head with a contending team. Whether it be in the division, such as the Reds and now Cubs, the Wild Card with the Phillies, or against one of the best teams in baseball, the Atlanta Braves, the Brewers held their own. They went 12-10 in that stretch, in which they won 9 of 13 against their closest division rivals the Cubs and Reds. After getting swept by the Braves, they find themselves a half-game back in the NL Central.
