The Milwaukee Brewers have been red hot at the plate this week. They have hit three grand slams in their last four games. This offensive outburst has helped the Brewers extend their winning streak to five games. First Baseman Rhys Hoskins hit a grand slam on Monday against the Texas Rangers, First Baseman Jake Bauers did so on Wednesday also against the Rangers, and Right Fielder Jackson Chourio hit a grand slam last night against the Chicago Cubs.
This winning streak by the Milwaukee Brewers came on the heels of the team dropping three of four games against the San Diego Padres. They took the final game of their series against the Padres before sweeping the Texas Rangers and taking the first game of their series against the Chicago Cubs. Milwaukee has outscored their opponents 25-13 over their five-game winning streak.
Will the offense of the Milwaukee Brewers be able to keep up their great play both this weekend and beyond?

The Brewers(49-33) hold a commanding 6.5-game lead in the National League Central and have the third-best record in the NL. They are behind only the Philadelphia Phillies and Los Angeles Dodgers in terms of record in the league. Milwaukee’s offense has been the strength of their ballclub in 2024. They are sixth in batting average, 15th in home runs, and seventh in runs scored.
Their offense is led by Catcher William Contreras and Shortstop Willy Adames. Contreras is top 20 in the league in batting average while Adames is 13th in the league in RBI. Left Fielder Christian Yelich would have been top 10 in the league with a .312 batting average, but is not qualified due to only playing in 56 of a possible 82 games.
Milwaukee’s pitching staff has also been stellar this season. They are ninth in ERA, 15th in opposing batting average, and 11th in WHIP. They are also third in the league in saves. Starting Pitcher Colin Rea leads the team with seven wins and Freddy Peralta is tied for seventh in the league in strikeouts. Closer Trevor Megill has 17 saves this season which is eighth in the league.
The Milwaukee Brewers have been one of the best teams in the league this season at home. They are 26-12 within the friendly confines of American Family Field. The team was great at home in 2023 as well with a record of 49-32.
Brewers Upcoming Schedule
The Milwaukee Brewers play the second game of their three-game set against the Chicago Cubs this afternoon. Milwaukee is 5-3 this season against the Cubs and will look to continue their strong play against the Chicago Cubs this weekend.
Milwaukee travels to Colorado next week for a four-game series with the Colorado Rockies beginning on Monday. The Brewers remain out west for a three-game series with the Los Angeles Dodgers next weekend. This will be a great measuring streak series as two of the National League’s best teams face off just a week before the 2024 All-Star break.
The Brewers have set themselves up extremely well in the first half of the regular season to make a deep run in the 2024 MLB Playoffs. They are chasing their sixth playoff berth in the last seven seasons. They have struggled to break through in a National League that includes perennial contenders like the Phillies and Dodgers but hope this could be their year. The Milwaukee Brewers have all the makings of a ballclub that can make some noise in October.
