Christian Yelich still has pop in his bat.

It’s shaping up to be a very interesting MLB week, with the Milwaukee Brewers hosting their divisional foes, the Pittsburgh Pirates, for the next three games at American Family Field. The National League Central-leading Chicago Cubs are on the road in St. Louis for four games with the Cardinals. St. Louis is nipping at the heels of the Brewers, currently in second place, just one game behind them. It’s an all-hands-on-deck scenario for all four Central clubs. By the weekend, there very well could be a new first-place club.
