Brewers' recent scoring binge has them on the doorstep of another franchise record

The Milwaukee Brewers scored 33 runs over their first two games against Cincinnati, setting a franchise record for runs in a two-game span and surpassing the previous high of 30 set in 1990. With 37 hits and seven home runs in those games, the Brewers need just eight more runs in Sunday's series finale to break the franchise record of 40 runs in a three-game series, which has been achieved twice before in 1978 and 1999. The Brewers will face Reds pitcher Chase Burns, who has a 2.73 ERA this season, in their attempt to set the new record. Since August 1, Milwaukee ranks 12th in home runs and fourth in slugging percentage despite finishing 28th in total home runs for the season, suggesting the team's offense is heating up as the playoffs approach.
