Milwaukee Brewers: A Dominant Team in the MLB
Before Tuesday night’s 7-2 victory against Atlanta, Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy suggested that “most people couldn’t name five players on our team.” However, the situation in the standings indicates that more Brewers players will soon be recognized by more fans. It’s hard to overlook a team that not only continues to extend its lead in the National League Central Division, but also boasts the best record in Major League Baseball.Right-handed pitcher Freddy Peralta, after allowing only four hits and one run in five innings, setting a personal record with his 13th victory, expressed his surprise upon learning of this achievement. “It’s always good to get the win as a team, but also personally for me, it’s something important,” Peralta stated. Murphy praised Peralta, who was selected for the National League All-Star team this year, stating that “he’s just getting started… This is the best Freddy there has been. I thought he was really, really good.” The Brewers lead the Chicago Cubs by four games in the National League Central, following the Cubs’ 5-1 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday night. The Brewers are on a five-game winning streak and a six-game winning streak on the road. Furthermore, they have won 44 of their last 60 games, the best 60-game stretch in team history.What we are doing right here right now is special.

Murphy also acknowledged that the Brewers were lucky not to concede more runs on Tuesday night, when the Braves left 14 runners on base, matching their highest total in the last two seasons. The Brewers have also made key moves this year, including the trade for first baseman Andrew Vaughn on June 13. Vaughn has had an 11-game hitting streak, matching his personal record, following a two-run single on Tuesday night. He is batting .429 with four home runs and 14 RBIs during his hitting streak, and .370 since joining the Brewers. Murphy described his players as “hungry” and that they “never try to play it safe.” Regarding the lack of national recognition, Murphy just smiled. “That’s the fun part,” he concluded.One cannot assume that everything will go in our favor in the future.
