Entering play on July 1, the Milwaukee Brewers were 10 games above .500 and 2.0 games back of the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central. When the calendar flipped to August, the Crew was 20 games above .500 and held a 1.0 game lead over the Cubs in the division. Ultimately, the Brewers went 17-7 in the month of July and cemented themselves as one of the best teams in the National League.
Whereas earlier in the season, it was a struggle to even find two Brewers position players that put together a strong month of games, now the opposite is true: it's hard to narrow down the offense's leaders to just three players.
