With a 1.48 ERA over 24 1/3 innings last week, the Brewers' bullpen was a big reason why Milwaukee has been able to remain within striking distance of the Cubs in the National League Central as the regular season winds down. The club's relief corps struck out 32 and walked only eight to earn MLB Bullpen of the Week presented by The Hartford honors for the week of Sept. 10-16.
As part of The Hartford Prevailing Moments program, each Monday throughout the 2018 season, MLB.com is honoring the MLB Bullpen of the Week presented by The Hartford. An industry-wide panel of MLB experts, including legendary stats guru Bill James, constructed a metric based on James' widely renowned game-score formula, to provide a weekly measurement of team-bullpen performance.
