The Brewers led the NL Central by two games at the beginning of July but have posted a 19-31 record since. The Brewers (61-66) are a season-high five games under .500. "It's kind of the epitome of how our season has gone," Ryan Braun said of Thursday's 8-5 loss to Cincinnati. "It seems that if we don't take advantage of every opportunity that we have, the other team finds a way to win the game."
