Not only did the Milwaukee Brewers sweep the Chicago Cubs, they did so with ease. The Brewers reclaimed the National League Central Division lead, and it's a division that has run through Milwaukee these past few seasons.

Even USA Today MLB columnist Bob Nightengale acknowledged Milwaukee's dominance, saying the sweep "served a subtle reminder that the NL Central title goes through Milwaukee."

In the three-game series, Brewers manager Pat Murphy's squad outscored Cubs manager Craig Counsell's Cubs, 19-5. This is a Cubs team that had been red hot, but now they've seemingly hit rock bottom.

After a stellar game three outing from Kyle Harrison, one that also saw a little league home run from David Hamilton, Murphy had plenty to say about his squad, one that now sits at 29-18 overall with a 1 1/2-game lead on both the Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals.

"We have a very young club,” Murphy said, according to MLB.com's Zach Sweet. "But yeah, I think it gives you a little confidence. I trust these guys. They have high expectations of themselves, and we have high standards.”

No matter how young this team may be, they sure are playing like a team who doesn't know any better. It's not like Milwaukee is going out there playing recklessly on a daily basis. Far from it. But there aren't many clubs who can say they've won 11 of their past 13 games, or even 16 of their past 21.

The Brewers' highly-criticized trade with the Boston Red Sox this offseason couldn't have gone more according to plan. Milwaukee received players that have all made a major impact on the team, but look no further than 24-year-old Kyle Harrison.

"He’s been this good,” Murphy said. “But he found his breaking ball in the second inning and started locating that below the zone, and the heater has that up-shoot to it that makes it so tough on hitters.”

Harrison threw seven scoreless innings in Chicago as he struck out 11 and allowed just two hits. He picked up his fifth win of the season and carries a 5-1 record with just a 1.77 ERA into his next start.

David Hamilton isn't a guy that's going to overwhelm anyone with his power, but he sure made the most of a crucial Pete Crow-Armstrong error.

"Hamilton was the story of our offense today,” Murphy added. “Two line drives and a ball that almost went out. He had four quality at-bats.”

Even though he bats ninth in the lineup, Hamilton improved his average to .248 and picked up his first three-hit game since he had four in Detroit on April 21.
