Brewers enjoying record-setting April
The Milwaukee Brewers have the majors' best record and are doing it at a record-setting pace.
Anchored by one of the top pitching staffs in baseball, Milwaukee has won 19 of its first 26 games, and with Monday's extra-innings victory in St. Louis, have lost only twice in the last 10 games.
Brewers: MLB-best 19-7 this season; 19 wins in March/April is the most wins before end of April in franchise history

One of the main reasons for Milwaukee's surprising start is the man responsible for closing out games. Francisco Rodriguez is having a resurgent year, emulating his former self to the time when he was a three-time American League leader in saves, way back in 2005, 2006, and 2008.
K-Rod has yet to allow a run in 15 appearances this season, and his 12 saves leads all of baseball.
K-Rod sets a #Brewers record with his 12th save before the beginning of May.
