The Milwaukee Brewers are now in a tie for first place in the NL Central following a four-game sweep of the lowly Miami Marlins and a six-game winning streak.
The soft part of the Brewers’ April schedule continues this week with a quick two-gap pit stop in Kansas City to face the rebuilding Royals. Just a few years removed from a World Series title, the window appears to be closed for KC. Eric Hosmer and Lorenzo Cain left through free agency, Mike Moustakas tried to leave but had to come back when he couldn’t find work anywhere else, and Alex Gordon has been hurt.
