Milwaukee won the title after beating the visiting New York Mets 8-4 at American Family Field on Sunday.

That win gave the Brewers a seven-game lead over the second-place St. Louis Cardinals with six regular-season matchups left.

Consistency proved somewhat elusive for the Brewers in the first half.

At one point in May, they lost six games in a row, took three of their next four, and then dropped six of their next seven.
