Breakdown

To say the Brewers coasted to the All-Star break would be an understatement. There were blown leads and saves, a lack of timely hitting, and inconsistent starting pitching. That may come down to nagging injuries or come down to just having a bad week, but either way, Pat Murphy's team is probably happy for a few days off next week.

Perhaps the lowlight of the week was getting no-hit through seven by Paul Skenes and the Pirates, but at least the team ended on a high by avoiding a sweep in the final game before the break.

Highlights

The Capper to Willy Adames' 4-hit game on Sunday was nothing other than a big fly.

Garret Mitchell's first homer of the season.

A Tobias Myers gem earned the Brewers their first win of the week.
