The Brewers have moved up in the latest MLB power rankings

Thanks to a stunning three-game sweep of the New York Yankees last weekend, the Milwaukee Brewers continue to inch up the Major League Baseball power rankings. As usual, the often-underappreciated pitching staff has done much of the heavy lifting. During a 10-3 stretch through May 10, opponents scored just 28 runs over 13 games – an average of 2.

15 runs a game. Sure, Jacob Misiorowski's dominant starts help the Brewers stay among the majors' top teams, but fellow hurlers have followed his lead as the Brewers have a 3. 45 team ERA.

With Jackson Chourio, Andrew Vaughn and Christian Yelich back on the active roster, the Brewers may soon get back in sync offensively, too. Here's a roundup of where the Brewers are in MLB power rankings (with last week's rankings in parentheses): 5. The Athletic (6) Zack Meisel explains why it's usually unwise to talk about who the Brewers don't have on their pitching staff anymore: "Hey, did you hear the Brewers traded Corbin Burnes and lived to tell about it?

Did you hear they traded Freddy Peralta and they didn’t get relegated? Once again, Milwaukee’s pitching staff is legitimate, even if you might not be familiar with Chad Patrick or Aaron Ashby, or you don’t mess with Shane Drohan, or you might remember Kyle Harrison and DL Hall as top prospects once upon a time and not key contributors to a group that has registered a 3. 43 ERA.
