Lucroy starting to find his swing
It took longer than anyone expected, but catcher Jonathan Lucroy has swung the bat as expected all along over the past week.
Entering the Brewers' game Saturday night against Cincinnati at Miller Park, Lucroy was hitting .440 (11 for 25) during a six-game hitting streak with three doubles, three home runs and seven RBI.
Lucroy, who set a record for major-league catchers with 53 doubles last season, had experienced issues driving the ball all season. During his six-game binge, he raised his slugging percentage from .332 to .381 and his OPS from .638 to .697.
