The Milwaukee Brewers definitely want to make a playoff run, but to do that they can’t give up a spot in the National League Central Division in the coming weeks. They have a complicated matchup with the New York Yankees the rest of the week.
To achieve its goals, the team led by head coach Craig Counsell relies on Andruw Monasterio on offense. The franchise’s rookie accomplished just about everything in September, which will be a big help when the books are settled at the end of the month.
To be precise, he was one of the standouts in an 8-2 win over the Bronx this Friday. The Caracas native went 2-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored and two RBIs. In fact, it was just the second time this season that he had two extra-base hits. On July 26, the victims at that time were the Cincinnati Reds.
Likewise, it’s worth noting that in his past seven games, he’s batting .385 with three runs scored, three RBIs and 10 hits. On top of that, he has had at least one hit in six of the team’s seven games so far this month.
As for this season’s statistics, Monasterio’s offensive line batting average was .271/.343/.371 in 72 games, including 12 doubles, one triple, 3 homers, 33 runs, 21 RBIs, 7 stolen bases and 62 plate appearances in 229 plate appearances.
