At various points in this campaign they could have pulled away in the National League Central race and accelerated toward another division title. But they didn’t.

The Brewers helped out by losing four straight games. They suffered a three-game sweep from the tanking Pittsburgh Pirates after trading away long-dominant closer Josh Hader to save money and add a few prospects. “You’d be lying if you said it didn’t have an effect, but at the same time it’s like, we’re pros,” Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich said told [URL='http://mlb.com/']MLB.com[/URL]. “You’ve got to do what you’ve got to do to perform at your best and get the job done.
