What the White Sox can learn from Milwaukee’s title run
Cooper Pratt didn’t need a home run to help deliver the Milwaukee Brewers their first World Series championship. The 22-year-old rookie drove in two runs with an RBI single and sacrifice fly, helping Milwaukee defeat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 in Game 5.
In fact, the Brewers didn’t hit a single home run in their championship-clinching victory last week.
Milwaukee hit just 13 home runs during the entire postseason, including three in the five-game World Series. Instead, the Brewers relied on timely hitting, aggressive baserunning and an ability to manufacture runs without waiting for someone to send a baseball into the seats.
