Kudos to PNC Park’s visitors' clubhouse manager Kevin Conrad and his crew, because when the Brewers showed up for work on Wednesday, there were no hints of the big party that had taken place the night before. For the National League Central champs, it was back to business. “We’ve got work to do,” manager Pat Murphy said. The Brewers’ work continued with a 5-4 win over the Pirates, with Logan Henderson delivering his 22nd straight start of three or fewer runs to begin his career, Christian Yelich putting Milwaukee on top for good with a two-run single in the seventh, and relievers Abner Uribe and Trevor Megill closing out victory No. 95 in emphatic fashion. The Brewers (95-57) did not look like a team with a hangover, either literal or proverbial. They looked like a team that, with 10 games remaining in the regular season, sits two victories shy of matching the franchise record set just last season, and needs to play .500 baseball or better the rest of the way to become the NL Central’s first 100-win team since the 2016 Cubs. “With two weeks left of the season, we’re still playing,” Megill said. “We’re not resting people. We’re playing tooth and nail. I would probably expect nothing less for the couple of weeks coming up.”
