At 79-34, Los Angeles leads the NL West by 16 games over second-place San Diego, and it's five games up on the Mets in the battle for the best record in the National League.<br />
Milwaukee, meanwhile, just dropped two of three games at St. Louis over the weekend, losing Sunday's series rubber match 6-3. That game was tied at 2-2 when the Brewers bullpen gave up four runs on two home runs in the bottom of the eighth inning, and that was it.<br />
Just before that, Milwaukee swept two games from Tampa Bay, but just before that, it lost two of three to Cincinnati. Going back a bit further, the Brewers are 1-3 over their last four series and 4-8 over their last 12 games.<br />
At 61-52 overall, Milwaukee trails the first-place Cardinals by a game and a half in the NL Central race, and it's a game and a half behind Philadelphia in the battle for the No. 3 spot in the NL wild-card standings.<br />

Then last Tuesday, he held Tampa Bay to two runs and two hits through five innings of a 5-3 Brewers win.<br />
