The white-hot Milwaukee Brewers suddenly look like one of the scariest teams in Major League Baseball. After sweeping the defending world champion Los Angeles Dodgers for the second time this month, the Brewers have a share of the best record in MLB with the Chicago Cubs and Detroit Tigers.

Defense lets the struggling Dodgers down as they fall to the Brewers, who sweep the weekend series at Dodger Stadium.

The Brewers picked up their 10th straight win with a 6-5 victory and tied the Chicago Cubs for first place in the NL Central. The Los Angeles Dodgers not only suffered their 10th loss in 12 games, they also saw star first baseman Freddie Freeman exit with a wrist contusion.

What a series for the Brewers coming out of the All-Star break, sweeping the Dodgers on the road with a 2-0 victory and two one-run wins. That's 10 in a row and they're tied for first for the first time since April 11 — and making the case they're as good as any team in the majors.

Los Angeles Dodgers star Clayton Kershaw expressed his frustrations with his performance as the team fell to the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday.

The Milwaukee Brewers won their 10th straight and swept the season series against the Dodgers with a 6-5 victory Sunday evening. The best team in baseball since late May (34-12), the Brewers have firm control atop the wild card race and have tied Chicago for first in the NL Central Division.

A former top prospect is thriving with his new team and is at the forefront of the Milwaukee's recent 10-game winning streak that has given it the top record in the NL.
