They are now 34-34 with Craig Counsell as manager. Even more encouraging for Counsell's relatively short tenure in office, in their past 22 games, the Brewers are 16-6. Over the weekend, they accomplished a three-game sweep over the Pirates, who came to town with the second-best record in the National League. The numbers say that the change in managers was beneficial and that Counsell is a success so far, in both relative and absolute terms. Beyond that, there are varying explanations for Milwaukee's marked improvement. Counsell goes with the position that improved health, particularly the return to the lineup of catcher Jonathan Lucroy and center fielder Carlos Gomez, has been the driving force behind the Brewers' improved play. "I think we've been able to put our best players on the field regularly," said Counsell on Sunday.
