Brewers Star Says Team Has 'Bigger Goals' Amid Winning Streak
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The Milwaukee Brewers have marched up the standings and entered Tuesday with the best record in Major League Baseball, riding their second 10-game winning streak of the season. As they look to continue to build their substantial lead in the National League Central, Christian Yelich told ESPN, "It's all great, but we have bigger goals than winning 74 games or whatever it is." The Brewers are one of five MLB teams to never win the World Series, and they are setting out on a quest to remove their name from that list this season. With the best odds, according to Baseball Reference, to win the World Series this season at 22 percent, the Brewers are looking to continue their hot streak for the remainder of the season. MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN - AUGUST 11: Christian Yelich #22 of the Milwaukee Brewers celebrates in the dugout after hitting a solo home run against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the third inning at American Family Field on... MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN - AUGUST 11: Christian Yelich #22 of the Milwaukee Brewers celebrates in the dugout after hitting a solo home run against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the third inning at American Family Field on August 11, 2025 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. MoreThe goal of every team at the start of the season is simple: win the World Series. While many teams will fall short of that goal, the Brewers have their eyes set on getting to the postseason and playing their best baseball when they get there. "It's hard to win just one game in the major leagues," Yelich told ESPN. "We've done it just by being present, focusing on the current day and not thinking about previous days or what we have ahead of us." This mentality in the Brewers clubhouse is pushing them toward their goal, celebrating their wins when they get them, but refocusing the next day. The mental side of baseball is a major player at the big league level, and keeping a cool head through the season has allowed Milwaukee to claim the best record in baseball.

Najee Harris returns to running, doing drills with a football after eye injury
Chargers running back Najee Harris isn't back to practice, but he took another step in his return from an eye injury. On Tuesday, Harris ran and participated in drills with a football off to the side with an athletic trainer, Kris Rhim of ESPN reports. Harris, who was injured in a July 4 fireworks accident, landed on the non-football injury list before training camp. Since Aug. 2 — and before Tuesday — he had only walked laps with a helmet while wearing a weighted vest. Harris' agent, Doug Hendrickson, said Harris has a 'superficial eye injury' and expects the one-time Pro Bowler to be ready for the season. Coach Jim Harbaugh has been noncommittal about Harris' availability for Week 1. Harris posted a photo on social media last week that showed his left eye completely shut, but Harbaugh said Harris can open his eye. The Chargers drafted Omarion Hampton and will have another running back splitting time with the rookie, whether that's Harris or another back. Kimani Vidal, Raheim Sanders, Hassan Haskins and Nyheim Miller-Hines are the backs competing for the job. 'Don't have to make that decision right now,' Chargers offensive coordinator Greg Roman said. 'Just keep working, keep evaluating, keep trying to get better, see how it all fits together when the decision needs to be made.'
