Brewers Sweep Cards Take Over First Place

Brewers GM Doug Melvin knew in the off-season some changes was needed if the Brewers were going to be contenders once again. He fired Ken Macha and brought in Ron Roeincke which was a move many people question. He also brought in Shaun Marcum and Zack Grienke to help the pitching rotation as well. Prince Fielder was also kept and all these moves have the Milwaukee Brewers now sitting in first place.

Today, was just like any day for the Brewers they got good pitching and great hitting to get a 4-3 win and a sweep over the St. Louis Cardinals. Fielder, who went 2 for 3 with a walk and two RBIs, and a home run now has 58 RBIs to extend his lead in the NL. Prince Fielder is batting over .300 and is one of the main reasons the Brewers are doing so well right now. It is not just Fielder though as many hitters through the lineup are also doing well.

Pitching has been a real bright spot and Shaun Marcum pitched another great game. Kameron Loe and John Axford finished it up out of the bullpen. Right now Milwaukee is playing well and have all phases of their game working for them. Milwaukee also has a deep bench which also helps give the manager many different choices everyday. We will have to see if Milwaukee can keep this up all season long.
