The Brewers have traded for a reliever at the deadline every full season inside this competitive window, so Shelby Miller's addition makes sense. With the Diamondbacks selling big-time, he was a sensible acquisition, even though he may not be ready right away because of injury.

The Milwaukee Brewers will face off with the Washington Nationals on Aug. 1, but you'll need a paid streaming service to watch it.

The Brewers are 64-44 and looking to bounce back from a 10-3 loss to the Chicago Cubs that halted a three-game winning streak. Left fielder Christian Yelich, the team’s leader in homers and RBI, is coming off an 0-3 performance with two strikeouts. They sit atop the NL Central, but the Cubs are only one game back.
