The Brewers racked up 16 hits against Tigers pitching on Tuesday night, but 13 were singles, and none were home runs. They had back-to-back triples from catcher Gary S\u00e1nchez, his first in the majors in over two years, and outfielder Garrett Mitchell. <\/p>\n
But of course, the Brewers were also wreaking havoc on the basepaths. They didn’t steal any bases, but David Hamilton turned an errant pickoff throw into a run, while three infield singles helped create damage, especially when Mitchell reached on a grounder to shortstop Kevin McGonigle to jump-start a three-run rally. <\/p>\n
Pat Murphy sums up why Brewers are so tough to play <\/p>\n
When the Brewers are going right, they have a few of those hustle moments every night, and it adds up to at least a few extra games in the win column than their talent level would suggest. It’s a concept in which manager Pat Murphy takes immense pride. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you\u2019re putting pressure on other teams because of our speed and balls in play, that happens,\u201d Murphy said, per Adam McCalvy<\/a> of MLB.com. \u201cYou make it difficult on them. It affects people, like, \u2018Why me?\u2019 And you can sometimes take advantage.\u201d <\/p>\n Milwaukee concluded play on Tuesday at 13-9, remarkably putting them in fourth place in the division. But they were only two games back of the first-place Cincinnati Reds, and it would be an unwise gamble to pick against them to win a fourth-straight division title. <\/p>\n
