The Milwaukee Brewers have used overpowering pitching and timely hitting to recapture first place in the National League Central from the Cincinnati Reds.
On Sunday, the visiting Brewers aim to conclude their series with the Reds with a demoralizing three-game sweep.
In registering the three shutouts, Brewers pitchers have totaled 44 strikeouts of Cincinnati batters. The Reds were one of the hottest-hitting teams in the majors in June and early July, when they were winning 20-of-24 games and fifth in MLB with 4.99 runs per game entering the All-Star break. "We've got to score more runs," Counsell added. "We left runs out there. That means that we're asking to be perfect. They did great. But we left big run-scoring opportunities out there ... and we've done that, really, the last three games against the Reds. We'd like to be a little better there to give those guys some room for error."
