The roll continues as Brewers go 5-2 against first-place teams, but can they do this without Christian Yelich? Plus, a conversation with Devin Williams

1 hour 17 minutes

The Brewers are once again red-hot with five straight wins (all against first-place teams) after starting the week 0-2. The National League Central is almost surely theirs, but they also know Christian Yelich will be out for the rest of the year. That hasn't impacted them dramatically yet, but will it? Willy Adames is feeling it with the bat, but it's been a strange year on defense. William Contreras is back to mashing, Tobias Myers and Colin Rea continue to be for real, and can the team do anything to address its sudden weakness ... the outfield? Can this team really hang with the Dodgers if they meet again in October?

Three Up Three Down discusses an amazing week for Devin Williams and the confusion around "blocking the plate." Remembrew When also goes back to a Robin Yount highlight, which is fitting with Yount getting honored at American Family Field on Sunday. Curt Blanche examines a play that often gets maligned, perhaps incorrectly.

Then, JR sits down with Devin Williams, the Brewers closer who has made a triumphant return from a back injury. They discuss the moment he almost gave his heart to soccer instead of baseball, his trophies and what has to happen for this year to be different in the postseason.
