The Brewers’ offense has hit another gear

The Brewers have ranked last in home runs for most of the season while relying on hitting consistency, speed, and situational hitting to rank second in runs scored. However, in September they've dramatically shifted their approach, hitting 19 home runs in 12 games to tie for third in the league while maintaining a .874 OPS, the best in baseball by 53 points. Seven different Brewers regulars have posted an OPS above .942 this month, with improvements from players like Joey Ortiz and Garrett Mitchell providing lineup depth that was lacking earlier in the season. The team's recent offensive surge comes at an opportune time heading into the playoffs, though the Brewers will face stiffer competition once the postseason begins.
