Andrew Vaughn kept the Brewers moving Sunday, going 3-for-5 with a triple, three runs scored and one RBI in a 12-4 win over the Rockies. It was the kind of day that turns a quiet stretch into a loud one.
Vaughn has now picked up hits in six of his last eight games, a stretch that shows he has heated back up at the plate after getting healthy. Over 26 games, he is slashing.341 with one homer, 13 RBI and 13 runs scored, production that gives Milwaukee another bat it can count on when the lineup is scoring in bunches.
That matters for the Brewers because Sunday was not a one-man show; it was a high-scoring win in which Vaughn’s work fit neatly into the middle of the burst. His triple and three runs scored helped turn offense into pressure, and the one RBI was only part of the damage he did once he got on base.
The sharper point is that this looks less like a hot week and more like a return to form. Vaughn is healthy, and that has changed the look of Milwaukee’s offense enough for manager Pat Murphy to have another impactful option in the lineup. The numbers over the last 26 games back that up, but the timing is what makes Sunday stand out: he delivered again right when the Brewers needed him to stay in rhythm.
For Vaughn, the next step is simply to keep stacking games like this one. If he keeps hitting the way he has over the last eight and stays on the field, Milwaukee will have reason to keep leaning on a bat that suddenly looks settled again.
