Franchise Notes

FORBES' Andrew Wagner notes the Brewers "surpassed the two million fan threshold" during their three-game series against the Padres last week and "wrapped up their homestand having drawn 2,084,577 fans through the turnstiles" in '18. That is an "average of 34,742 per night, an increase of 4,142 from last year -- the second-biggest increase in MLB this year." The Brewers are also "second in total increase" from '17, with 248,527 "more fans than they drew through 60 games last season." This is the Brewers' 15th consecutive year with an "attendance of at least two million" (FORBES.com, 8/13).

KEEPING CLOSE TABS: NBCSPORTS.com's Peter King notes everyone in the NFL Cardinals' organization "expects GM Steve Keim ... back when his suspension is over next week" for his July 4 DUI arrest. Keim upon his return "knows he'll be watched closely by his franchise and the league" (NBCSPORTS.com, 8/13).
