The Brewers reached 30 games over the 500 mark with a 7-1 win yesterday over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
That runs the current win streak to 10 straight games. Bryce Terang and Christian Yellich at home runs
and veteran Jose Quintana claimed his 10th victory of the season. Milwaukee now leads the Cubs by
six and a half games in the standings. Christian Yellich says the team is trying to stay focused.
You know the guy's done a really good job and then really focused and we talk about all the time
as far as you know what we need to do to win what we what we like about what we did before and
what we need to continue to do going for what we get better at and yeah that's like a constant
dialogue in in this clubhouse and it's a really fun team to be a part of and the guys have
come a long way over the course of the year just getting better and more experienced.
Yellich says win streaks are not a part of the overall scheme of things.
Honestly nobody cares about what we've done the past month like it's all great but I think our
we have bigger goals than winning 74 games or whatever we have here you know it's like that's
great but that wasn't really our goal going into the season you know we have we have bigger aspirations
than that we just stay present and focus on what we need to do right now and then you know when
we get to the end of the year we get to the end of the year. veteran pitcher Jose Quintana has had
a research in his career and he says what the Brewers have going on right now is a good atmosphere.
Always it's hard you know I think being this position is amazing you know I remember what was
the last time we in ten games three and it's good you know it's it's really fun you know the way
we've been we've been playing all the energy we have around we'll stay hungry you know the Brewers
