After submitting another two-hit effort prior to being lifted from the contest, Miller is now slashing an impressive .330/.371/.513 on the season. With the Brewers off Monday, Miller will get an extra day to recover before the team returns to action Tuesday in Toronto.

Hits home run from cleanup spot Miller went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Astros.

Impact Miller moved into the cleanup spot Wednesday after going 3-for-4 from the sixth spot in Tuesday's win. After failing to reach in his first two at-bats, the versatile Miller launched a solo shot off Brandon Bielak in the seventh to extend Milwaukee's lead to 3-0. Miller has been on an absolute tear in May, racking up 24 hits (10 for extra bases), eight RBI and 10 runs scored across 16 appearances.

Bumps up to cleanup spot Miller will start at third base and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Impact After hitting sixth and going 3-for-4 with a home run, a stolen base, two RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 6-0 win, Miller will be rewarded with a move to the cleanup spot in the series finale. Making his eighth consecutive start Wednesday, Miller seems to have solidified himself as an everyday player at this point, and he looks as though he could gain some traction in the heart of the order while he's swinging a hot bat. Jesse Winker, meanwhile, will drop from second to sixth in the order Wednesday after having failed to hit a home run in any of his 115 plate appearances this season.

Tallies three hits and swipes bag Miller went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer, a stolen base and scored twice in Tuesday's win over the Astros.

Impact Miller singled his first two times up and wound up swiping his fifth bag of the year. His big hit of the night came in the eighth inning when he took Rafael Montero deep to left to put the Brewers up 6-0. Tuesday's performance added on to what's already been a very productive month at the plate for Miller. The 26-year-old is slashing .404/.407/.667 with three homers, seven RBI, nine runs, two steals and a 1:10 BB:K over 15 games in May. His hot bat has earned him more consistent playing time over the last few weeks and he's even made a handful of starts atop the lineup when facing lefties. Miller hit just .231/.283/.338 across two seasons in Cleveland, so it's not expected of him to maintain this type of productivity, but the Brewers will certainly keep playing him while he's in a groove.
