Ruben "Streak" Souffront gets his second HR of the season in the very next game, this time streaking around the bases after hitting a long drive off the top of the right-center wall for an inside-the-park homerun.
This gives Ruben a career-high 15-game hitting streak stretching back to the end of the 1967 season.
It's early, but the Brewers are happy to be off to a solid start.
At this point, in spite of the disruptive presence of Jamel McNeil, the clubhouse chemistry is pretty good.
(I didn't even realize, until looking back over this, that young starting pitcher Abel Pennington has now been elevated to the status of Captain as well. That helps! On the other hand, having a couple of outspoken players could get tricky if the team starts losing. They are likely to call out McNeil and/or our 2 unmotivated players.)
