The Milwaukee Brewers are looking to stay hot in June as they end the month against the Colorado Rockies.

The Brewers have been one of the hottest teams in baseball over the past 30 days, with a record of 20-8 since May 25.

After young stud Jacob Misiorowski captured the series victory in front of a sold-out crowd over the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Brewers sit at a season high nine games over .500 with a record of 45-36.

The Brewers have received some reasonable assistance from their offense lately.

Former NL MVP Christian Yelich has found good form. In the past month, Yelich has a .387 batting average with 36 hits, six home runs and 27 RBIs.

Right fielder Jackson Churio has also been in good form. Over the past month, Churio is batting .270 with 30 hits and four home runs.

The Brewers' pitching staff has been an enormous boost during this time. They have a 3.31 ERA with help from their bullpen and soon-to-be ace Misiorowski.

"Everything Misiorowski throws is hard, but his arsenal is defined by a slider that might break the sport," wrote Anthony Licciardi. "Before Wednesday's start, only 25 breaking balls had been thrown at least 95 mph. Cincinnati Reds youngster Chase Petty has one to his name. Misiorowski has the rest."

If the Brewers can maintain this level of firepower throughout the season, they could very well be atop the division by October.

The Brewers currently trail the Cubs by 2.5 games for the top seed in the NL Central. They have a one-game lead on the Cardinals and a three-game lead over the Reds.
