Milwaukee Brewers: First Place Early in NL Central Standings

The Milwaukee Brewers gave fans something to cheer about after sweeping the San Diego Padres in California to begin the season. New additions Lorenzo Cain and Christian Yelich played well and Ryan Braun hit a game-winning home run to cap off a big game 2 comeback.

The Crew opened the season in Milwaukee with optimism and a 3-0 record. However, the Brewers proceeded to drop two of three games to key NL Central rivals, the St. Louis Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs.

The Brewers will need to play better against their rivals to earn a first place finish in the 2018 NL Central Standings.
