Former Top Prospect Fueling Brewers Hot Streak
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. There is no denying that the Milwaukee Brewers are the hottest team in baseball. Fresh off their second three-game sweep of the Dodgers in less than two weeks, the Brewers now find themselves tied atop the National League Central, as well as tied for the best record in the NL. There have been several key contributors during Milwaukee's hot streak, but almost none have come up bigger than first baseman Andrew Vaughn. MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN - JULY 11: Andrew Vaughn #28 of the Milwaukee Brewers is congratulated in the dugout after hitting a solo home run in the seventh inning against the Washington Nationals at American Family Field... MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN - JULY 11: Andrew Vaughn #28 of the Milwaukee Brewers is congratulated in the dugout after hitting a solo home run in the seventh inning against the Washington Nationals at American Family Field on July 11, 2025 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. MoreOnce a top prospect with the Chicago White Sox, Vaughn's career in Chicago never quite panned out and he was traded to Milwaukee earlier in the season and optioned to Triple-A Nashville. An injury to Rhys Hoskins opened a spot on the field for Vaughn and the Brewers felt it was time to give him a chance. He made his Brewers debut July 7, and he's been a man on a mission ever since. Vaughn entered his Milwaukee debut with a .189 average on the season. Through eight games, his season average now sits at .212 and he's produced in nearly every game. Andrew Vaughn's first 8 games with the Brewers: .391/.500/.739 2 HR 12 RBI 1.239 OPS 235 wRC+ 6 BB | 3 K Milwaukee hasn't lost a game since calling him up — Just Baseball (@JustBB_Media) July 20, 2025 Vaughn has reached base at least once in every game so far with the Brewers and as noted in the tweet above, they have not yet lost since promoting him to the major leagues. Along with reaching base at an excellent rate, Vaughn has been a run producer in the middle of the order. He has at least one RBI in six of his eight games and three of those games have seen Vaughn collect two or more RBIs. Andrew Vaughn becomes the first Brewers player to drive in a run in each of his first four games with the club. Make that 6 RBI's in those 4 games with a pair of HR's. — Stephen Watson (@SWatsonTV) July 12, 2025 Vaughn has been the spark that's helped the Brewers skyrocket to the top of the NL Central after trailing the Cubs by 6 1/2 games one short month ago. There is no doubt that when Hoskins is ready to return, Milwaukee will have to find a way to keep Vaughn in the lineup at all times. A change of scenery may have been exactly what was needed for Vaughn to turn around what had been a poor start to a once promising career.

Brewers finding ways to win, while Nationals' struggles continue
(Photo credit: Jeff Hanisch-Imagn Images) The potential tying run had just reached base Saturday when Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Caleb Durbin had a premonition. 'We felt like we were going to win the game,' he said. And he was right, thanks to his RBI single that capped a three-run rally that gave them a 6-5 win over Washington. The comeback victory put the Brewers in position to go into the All-Star break with a sweep of the visiting Nationals with a win on Sunday. It was the sixth straight win for Milwaukee, which again is very successful despite flying under the radar. At 55-40, the Brewers are just a game behind the Chicago Cubs for first place in the National League Central. The Brewers are 24-12 since June 1, the second-best record in baseball in that span behind only Toronto (25-12). How does second-year manager Pat Murphy explain it? 'That's the great thing about the right people,' he said. 'They work hard and know what they have to do to stick around.' One of those people is newly minted first baseman Andrew Vaughn, floundering with the White Sox when Milwaukee acquired him for pitcher Aaron Civale on June 13. Called up Monday when first baseman Rhys Hoskins was placed on the injured list, all Vaughn has done in his first five games is knock in 10 runs, including four on Saturday with a pair of two-run doubles. 'He's fit right in,' Durbin said of Vaughn. The Brewers will aim to sweep the series behind Freddy Peralta (10-4, 2.74 ERA), who's coming off a 9-1 home victory Monday night over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Peralta sailed through six shutout innings, scattering five hits and walking one while whiffing seven. He's 3-3 with a 6.75 earned run average in 32 innings over seven career outings (five starts) against Washington. Meanwhile, the Nationals will counter with Jake Irvin (7-4, 4.78), who last worked on Tuesday night during a 4-2 loss in St. Louis. The right-hander was charged with four runs off six hits and four walks in six innings, fanning three. Irvin has struggled in four career starts against Milwaukee, going 0-3 with a 7.32 ERA in 19 2/3 innings over four starts. Washington fell to 1-4 under interim manager Miguel Cairo after Saturday's loss, one of the tougher ones the Nationals have had to digest. It put a damper on the biggest day in the young MLB career of rookie third baseman Brady House, who homered twice and drove in three runs. House's first MLB homer was a 427-foot blast to left off a hanging sweeper from Milwaukee starter Brandon Woodruff in the fourth. House admitted that he didn't remember what pitch it was. 'When I go to bat, it's like I almost black out,' he said. 'Even the trip around the bases ... I felt like I was in a fog.' There was one positive to the day for House, aside from his homers. A pair of Brewers fans came down to see him after the game bearing the first homer he slugged and gave him the ball. 'Very appreciative that they took the time to come down and give me the ball,' he said. 'I'm going to give that to my parents for sure.' --Field Level Media

Curtis brings up the blackmail again and admits he's not saving her but only Trina. Portia is hurt and storms out. Portia joins Isaiah at the bar and complains about Jordan and the possible end of her marriage. He says she's a wonderful woman and if Curtis can't see that, then he's the problem.

Lulu feels Rocco is pulling away. Laura says it's normal and Rocco may have questions, but he ultimately knows how much Lulu loves him. Laura talks to Rocco, who is still upset about him not being born if Britt hadn't stolen the embryo. He feels his parents didn't chose to have him. Laura reassures him that he was wanted, and they fought for him. Laura says he is their miracle and needs to remember that. Tracy tells Chase there are issues with Brook Lynn, but he tells her not to bring him into whatever issues she's having with her granddaughter. Tracy says Brook Lynn holds Lulu responsible for the problems with Gio and is going after her. Tracy wonders if Chase believes Brook Lynn is justified. Chase says Lulu crossed a line so Tracy questions whether he'll help Brook Lynn punish her. Chase is certain Brook Lynn doesn't have anything nefarious planned. Tracy says nothing good will come from the two women destroying each other and asks Chase to help stop it. Chase says he loves Brook Lynn and there is nothing she could do that would drive him away.

Dante says he knows she gave up Gio out of love and is certain he'll come to understand that. Curtis meets with Michael to let him know about the article on Sonny possibly killing Natalia. Michael realizes Drew is behind everything and Curtis says he doesn't have any more moves to stop him. Michael tells Curtis to do what he has to do to protect his family. Laura reassures Lulu that Rocco will be fine, while Rocco is writing an email to Liesl after finding her online. (*Was Rocco dropped once too often on his head as a baby? Does he not understand how surrogacy works and Liesl isn't and never was his grandmother? I feel like he's old enough to understand and not be this stupid*) Keep checking back for the latest General Hospital recaps!
