Ortiz’s Hot Streak Could Save Brewers | Milwaukee Brewers News
Description
Joey Ortiz is heating up at third base, slashing over .300 with four homers and a solid OPS since late June — finally delivering the pop the Brewers’ bottom of the order desperately needed. His move there, after Cooper Pratt took over shortstop, seems to have unlocked his potential, and the team is riding the wave. But can this hot streak last? If Ortiz cools off and no trades happen before the deadline, the Brewers could be in trouble. Historically reluctant to make splashy deals, they’re likely betting on Ortiz and hoping David Hamilton returns. While adding impact bats is tough — especially with teams like the Cubs holding onto talent — the Brewers may instead focus on upgrading their pitching, which is their bigger need right now.
