Don’t look now, but the Milwaukee Brewers are red hot. They’ve won six straight games including a four-game sweep of the Miami Marlins. People can shit on the fact they did against Cincinnati and Miami, but you have to beat who’s against you night in and night out. Brewers took care of business on Saturday and Sunday grinding out two wins. On Saturday, it was an incredible comeback as Milwaukeet trailed by four runs, and on Sunday, they did just enough plus a dominating bullpen to win the game resulting in a four-game sweep.

Highlights
All praise Jesus – What a moment for Jesus Aguilar on Saturday night. He comes up in a pinch-hit situation and takes a 13 pitch at-bat deep to win the game for Milwaukee. He’s had an amazing start to the season. To think, I may have said the Brewers should have dealt him after Spring Training, but we do not need to remember what I said a month ago. Aguilar continues to be a valued asset to the Brewers.

Travis Shaw starring in ‘Walk This Way’ – One of the best things about the young season has been Travis Shaw’s plate discipline. He’s taking a shit ton of walks, and it’s resulting in added baserunners for the Brewers. During Milwaukee’s six-game winning streak, Shaw walked at least once per game, and he walked multiple times in three of the four games this weekend. Shaw also had home runs in Friday and Saturday’s game as well, so, it’s not like he is just walking.

Bullpen continues to be wonderful – The bullpen is the strongest part of this team. People thought that would be the case, then, there were some worries about what might happen with Cory Knebel going down with an injury. These guys have been absolute nails. Brewers allowed their first run on Sunday since last Monday. The whole group has been great with Josh Hader, Dan Jennings, Jeremy Jeffries, Jacob Barnes and Matt Albers. Jeffries won the game for Milwaukee on Sunday working his way out of a bases loaded no-out jam.

Lowlights
Time has come to an end for Brent Suter – I feel like Suter needs to be sent to the bullpen or Colorado Springs. Brewers are too talented to keep trotting him out there every five days. Brandon Woodruff should get another opportunity, or one of the other talented pitchers in Triple A. Brewers’ pitchers are doing great in Triple A in the toughest environments to pitch. They should see what else they have versus keep relying on Suter.

Next up
They head to Kansas City for a two-game series on Tuesday night. Kansas City is off to a rough start with a 5-15 record. Zach Davies will go for the Brewers and try to emulate what he did last Wednesday. Ian Kennedy will head to hill for Kansas City. Kennedy started off strong and started to show some cracks in the last couple of games. Brewers will look to get to him. If you remember, Kennedy has a little bit of history with Ryan Braun.

Charlie.
