MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Milwaukee Brewers had confidence in their rookie class well before the start of the season. Those newcomers wasted no time rewarding that faith. The Brewers have won five straight games while fielding a lineup that often features three rookies in outfielders Garrett Mitchell and Joey Wiemer and second baseman Brice Turang. The trio is batting a combined .321 with five homers, 13 runs and 13 RBIs through the first six games of the season. The Brewers also are getting big contributions early from veteran newcomers Brian Anderson and Jesse Winker.
