Key points

- Jacob Misiorowski has been a standout pitcher
The Brewers have moved up in the latest MLB power rankings
Thanks to a stunning three-game sweep of the New York Yankees last weekend, the Milwaukee Brewers continue to inch up the Major League Baseball power rankings.
As usual, the often-underappreciated pitching staff has done much of the heavy lifting. During a 10-3 stretch through May 10, opponents scored just 28 runs over 13 games â an average of 2.15 runs a game.
Sure, Jacob Misiorowski's dominant starts help the Brewers stay among the majors' top teams, but fellow hurlers have followed his lead as the Brewers have a 3.45 team ERA.
With Jackson Chourio, Andrew Vaughn and Christian Yelich back on the active roster, the Brewers may soon get back in sync offensively, too.

5. The Athletic (6)
Zack Meisel explains why it's usually unwise to talk about who the Brewers don't have on their pitching staff anymore:
"Hey, did you hear the Brewers traded Corbin Burnes and lived to tell about it? Did you hear they traded Freddy Peralta and they didnât get relegated? Once again, Milwaukeeâs pitching staff is legitimate, even if you might not be familiar with Chad Patrick or Aaron Ashby, or you donât mess with Shane Drohan, or you might remember Kyle Harrison and DL Hall as top prospects once upon a time and not key contributors to a group that has registered a 3.43 ERA.
"Of course, you canât discuss the Brewersâ staff without mentioning Jacob Misiorowski, who has become appointment viewing. His fastball velocity, rightfully, receives all the attention. He averaged 101.1 mph on 57 fastballs against the Yankees on Friday night, which is downright silly. No one has touched his off-speed stuff, either â probably because thereâs nothing off-speed about his off-speed stuff."

7. Bleacher Report (10)
Joel Reuter echoes Meisel in noting how consistent Brewers pitchers have been:
"The Brewers are 9-3 in their last 12 games, and trending up in a major way following their three-game weekend sweep of the Yankees. If the season ended today, Jacob Misiorowski (8 GS, 2.45 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, 70 K, 44.0 IP) would have a strong case for NL Cy Young honors, and the pitching staff as a whole has really come together nicely even with Brandon Woodruff sidelined."

Misiorowski's starts have become must-see TV for all baseball fans, not just Brewers nation, says Will Leitch:
"One really canât talk enough about what Jacob Misiorowski was able to do in his first start against the Yankees this weekend. He struck out 11, topped out at a sizzling 103.6 mph while throwing the seven fastest fastballs for a starter in the pitch tracking era, and was this close to an immaculate inning."

Gabe Lacques moved the Brewers up after they brought out the brooms against the Bronx bombers:

Jordan Shusterman remains worried about the Brewers' offense:
"The Brewers are a good team, as evidenced by their sweep of the Yankees over the weekend and their suddenly stellar record after an underwhelming start. But hitting the ball over the fence has not been easy for this squad. The Brewers rank last in MLB in home runs in 38 games, and a quick glance at their batted ball profile helps explain why: Milwaukee bats have produced a 52% ground ball rate, far and away the highest mark in the majors (Pittsburgh and Boston are tied for second at 47%). Itâs hard to homer on the ground, folks (unless youâre Bobby Witt Jr.)."
