Generally speaking, I start eyeing a topic for the Power Rankings intro around Friday. Last Sunday, though, I told myself one thing was off-limits: I'm not writing on the Brewers again. I had done so two straight weeks and three of the last four.
One of their most impressive wins during that franchise-record 14-game win streak came on Friday night. The Brewers faced an 8-1 deficit after two innings against the Reds and clawed their way back on the strength of two homers and five RBI from Christian Yelich — doing so while using his customized Bob Uecker bat for player’s weekend.
The Milwaukee Brewers kicked of a doubleheader on Monday afternoon in the best way possible. Milwaukee hit the road to begin a five-game series against the Chic
Blake Perkins doubled, hit a homer and drove in two RBIs, Andrew Vaughn also homered and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Atlanta Braves 5-4 on Wednesday night for their sixth straight win.

MLB-best Brewers rally again, set franchise single-season record for consecutive victories with 14
This Milwaukee club set a new benchmark — so far — for consecutive victories, surpassing the 1987 team that opened that season by winning its first 13 games.
And yet, oddsmakers still aren’t quite sold on the Brew Crew being the best team in the league. Despite this unbelievable run, Milwaukee still has the third-best odds (+400, FanDuel Sportsbook) of winning the National League pennant behind the Dodgers (+210) and Phillies (+380).
The Brewers take over the top spot in the MLB Power Rankings while the Mets continue to fall even after a series win.

Yelich hits 2 HRs as MLB-best Brewers rally past Reds 10-8, tie club record with 13th straight win
Christian Yelich had two homers among his four hits and drove in five runs as the Milwaukee Brewers overcame a seven-run deficit to beat the Cincinnati Reds 10-8 for their club record-tying 13th straight victory.
It might not be reflected in the standings, but the comparison between the Angels and the best team in baseball is obvious to at least one former All-Star.
