Brewers improve NL Central lead with 5-1 week in May

The Milwaukee Brewers finished the week of May 31 with a 5-1 record, extending their lead in the NL Central to 4.5 games over the St. Louis Cardinals. Strong pitching was a highlight, with Jacob Misiorowski turning in another solid performance, accumulating 20 strikeouts over two starts. Jake Bauers contributed significantly at the plate, hitting two home runs and driving in four runs. The Brewers' rotation faces challenges as Logan Henderson was placed on the 15-day IL due to back tightness, but Rob Zastryzny returned from the IL to bolster the bullpen. Next, the Brewers look to maintain their momentum heading into June.
