MILWAUKEE — Before Tuesday’s 7-2 win at Atlanta, Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy suggested “most people couldn’t tell you five players on our team.”

A look at the standings would indicate more Brewers players will soon be recognized by more fans as the team boasts the best record in baseball.

The win, combined with the Chicago Cubs’ 5-1 loss to Cincinnati, left Milwaukee with a four-game lead in the NL Central division

Manager Pat Murphy said it will be important for players to keep their focus

“What we’re doing in here right now is special,” said right-hander Freddy Peralta after allowing only four hits and one run in five innings while setting a career high with his 13th win.

“We’re just enjoying the game and coming to compete every day,” Peralta said. “We have to keep it that way.”

Peralta said he was surprised to learn he had established a career high for wins in a season.

“It always feels good to get the win as a team but also personally for me, it’s a big deal,” Peralta said.

Murphy said Peralta, who was named to this year’s NL All-Star team, is “just getting started. … This is the best Freddy has ever been. I thought he was really, really good.”

The Brewers lead second-place Chicago by four games in the NL Central following the Cubs’ 5-1 loss Tuesday night to the Cincinnati Reds.

The Brewers are on a five-game winning streak and have won six straight road games. They’re also 44-16 in their last 60 games overall. It’s the best 60-game stretch in team history.

Murphy said it will be important for players to keep their focus in the final stretch of the regular season.

“We really have to be disciplined right now, more than ever before,” Murphy said after the Brewers (69-44) moved 25 games over .500, their best record of the season.

Milwaukee’s road success has been an important part of the surge to first place. The team’s 33-24 road record gives the Brewers the best winning percentage (.579) away from home in baseball. The record includes winning the first two games of the three-game series in Atlanta.

“You can’t assume everything is going to go our way going forward,” Murphy said, adding he recognized the Brewers were fortunate to avoid giving up more runs Tuesday night when the Braves left 14 runners on base, tied for their highest total in the last two seasons.

The Brewers have also made key moves this year, including their June 13 trade for first baseman Andrew Vaughn.

Vaughn has an 11-game hitting streak, matching his career high, following a two-run single on Tuesday night. He is hitting .429 with four homers and 14 RBIs during his hitting streak. He is hitting .370 since joining the Brewers.

Murphy said his players “are hungry” and “don’t ever try to play safe.”

As for the lack of national recognition, Murphy smiled.

“That’s the fun of it,” he said.
