Pat Murphy says Brewers haven’t played great, even as Milwaukee keeps winning
- Brewers manager Pat Murphy said he does not think Milwaukee has played great this season and said the team has not fully jelled yet.
- Milwaukee entered the report with the best record in Major League Baseball and was on track for its eighth playoff berth in nine seasons.
- The Brewers had just beaten the Seattle Mariners 22-0, matching the largest shutout victory in modern MLB history.
- Milwaukee also won three of four games on a recent road trip against the Los Angeles Dodgers, the defending two-time World Series champions.
- The Brewers finished a 17-day stretch without a day off at 10-7 and remained ahead of the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central.
- First baseman Jake Bauers said the team’s ability to bounce back in difficult stretches shows it is a good club.
Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy struck a cautious tone even as his team continued to post the best record in baseball. After a 22-0 win over the Seattle Mariners, he said he did not think the Brewers had played great and suggested the club still had room to improve.
Murphy said the Brewers have not fully come together, though their results point in the opposite direction. Milwaukee was on pace for its eighth playoff appearance in nine seasons and a fourth straight NL Central title.
The Brewers also had just taken three of four games from the Los Angeles Dodgers in a West Coast trip. The team completed a demanding 17-day stretch without a day off with a 10-7 record and stayed ahead of the Chicago Cubs in the division race.
Jake Bauers said the club’s response to adversity shows its strength. The Brewers have also faced attention over their inability to land Tarik Skubal, but they have continued winning without him.
穆र्फি称酿酒人表现并不出色，但密尔沃基战绩依旧强势
密尔沃基酿酒人队主教练帕特·墨菲在球队继续保持大联盟最佳战绩之际，语气却十分克制。球队刚以22比0击败西雅图水手后，他表示自己并不认为球队打得很出色，并认为队伍仍有提升空间。
墨菲说，酿酒人还没有真正形成整体，但战绩显示出另一番景象。密尔沃基当时正朝着过去9个赛季中的第8次季后赛之旅迈进，也在争取连续第四个国联中区冠军。
酿酒人此前还在西海岸之旅中从洛杉矶道奇队身上拿下4场中的3场。球队在连续17天没有休息日的艰苦赛程后打出10胜7负，并继续在分区中领先芝加哥小熊。
杰克·鲍尔斯表示，球队在逆境中的反弹能力说明他们是一支强队。报道还提到，酿酒人此前因未能得到塔里克·斯库巴尔而受到关注，但他们仍在没有他的情况下持续赢球。
