The Milwaukee Brewers probably have the best defense in all of baseball.
Unfortunately, you can't arrange your defenders in the bleachers. That's apparently against the rules. So those golden Milwaukee gloves couldn't save them in the Bronx.
The Yankees had a home-run party in their opening series against Milwaukee, crushing 15 home runs in the three-game sweep. The Yanks slugged .804 for the series, a ridiculous number. The strikeouts were low (21), the walks were high (16). New York looks like a destination offense again.
Maybe the Yankees are onto something with their torpedo bats — Anthony Volpe, Austin Wells, Paul Goldschmidt and Cody Bellinger combined for six home runs using the quirky new lumber.
