Sitting at 29-18, the Milwaukee Brewers bring a ton of momentum back to American Family Field ahead of a huge three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Milwaukee took game one in Chicago, 9-3, followed by 5-2 and 5-0 victories over a team that once seemed unstoppable in the National League Central Division.

Now, the Chicago Cubs have been humbled while the Brewers enjoy a 1 1/2-game lead in the division. That's due to incredible performances from numerous players in what turned out to be a series that Cubs manager Craig Counsell would rather want to forget.

The 28-year-old caught all three games in Chicago and helped lead this team to their first sweep at Wrigley Field since 2021.

William Contreras got to see gems from not only the Brewers' starting pitchers, but seemingly every reliever as well. Contreras remains one of the best catchers in baseball, but he's able to back it up with his bat as well.

Contreras recorded at least one hit in every game of the series. He had a two-hit game in the opener and rounded things out with a three-hit game, one that saw him reach base in all four of his at-bats. Contreras also picked up his first stolen base of the year and extended his hitting streak to six games.

Jake Bauers, similar to Contreras, had a hit in every game of the series. That said, Bauers hit a massive home run in the first game, a game that saw him record four RBIs.

While that's incredibly impressive by itself, it's even more impressive knowing he now has an RBI in five straight games. Currently, he's tied for the team lead with Brice Turang in both home runs (seven) and RBIs (29).

Milwaukee seemed to have a commanding lead in game one, but Pat Murphy turned to Shane Drohan as Brandon Sproat had just given up three runs on three hits. Sproat lasted 4 2/3 innings, but needed 78 pitches to do so.

In something that has become much more common this season, Murphy went to a traditional starter in the bullpen.

Drohan delivered, and that's an understatement. He threw 11 first-pitch strikes as 34 of the 42 pitches he threw in 4.1 innings were strikes. Not only did he pick up his second win of the year, but Drohan's ERA is down to 2.57. The likes of Jacob Misiorowski and Kyle Harrison deserve a ton of credit, but Drohan was the unsung hero of the series.
