Brewers (38-28) update: With a .340/.446/.745 slash line, reigning National League MVP Christian Yelich is topping all three numbers from a year ago. His home/road splits are, however, drastically different. Only five of his MLB-leading 24 homers have come on the road, where he’s hitting .259/.370/.474. His home line is .438/.533/ 1.073. … Dating to last season’s All-Star break, 31 of Yelich’s 49 homers (63 percent) have come on the first or second pitch of an at-bat. … Second baseman Mike Moustakas is tied for third in the majors with 20 home runs. In his last 15 games, Moustakas is slashing .344/.394/.820 with nine homers, 21 runs and 14 RBIs. …This marks the third interleague series between Milwaukee and the Astros, who were National League brethren from 1998-2012. The Brewers won two of three games at Miller Park in 2016 and two of three at the Astrodome in 1997, when neither team was in its current league.
