Box Score
The Brewers' offense has been punch-less over the past four games, but that has not stopped them from winning every one of them. Having a good pitching staff and facing the dregs of the NL Central helps as well.
In my last post I mentioned the possibility of the Brewers catching lightning in a bottle while attempting to replace Rickie Weeks. Felipe Lopez going 2-4 with a run scored last night illustrates what I mean. Over the long term Lopez is nowhere near as good as Weeks, however, Lopez could be as good as Joe Morgan in his prime over a 4-6 game stretch. That's just how baseball works.
Other Notes:
-The Brewers will finish July with a winning record. They have a winning record in every month they played more than one game.
-Randy Wolf has pitched at least six innings in ten consecutive starts, and in only 2 of his 22 starts on the season did he fail to pitch at least five innings. Should the Brewers make the playoffs, he will be a big reason why.
-The Astros traded their best player during last night's game (Hunter Pence), which bodes will for the rest of this series and future games vs. the 'Stros.
