The Pittsburgh Pirates might be tired by now of facing Ryan Braun, who has been a run-producing machine against the Milwaukee Brewers' division rival.
In fact, since 2007, only three players have 100 runs and 100 RBI against an opponent. Braun vs. the Pirates is one of the three -- and he's done it in fewer games than the other three. Braun is closing in on another 100-100 against another opponent as he has 94 runs and 96 RBI in 128 games vs. the Chicago Cubs.
PLAYERS W/ 100 R, 100 RBI VS. ANY OPPONENT SINCE 2007
| Player | Opponent | Games | Runs | RBI |
| Ryan Braun | Pirates | 138 | 112 | 105 |
| Matt Kemp | Rockies | 152 | 103 | 135 |
| Miguel Cabrera | Twins | 154 | 101 | 129 |
| Miguel Cabrera | Indians | 156 | 109 | 130 |
In those 138 games against Pittsburgh, Braun is hitting .309 with a .393 on-base percentage and .549 slugging percentage. He has 32 doubles, four triples and 29 home runs in 603 plate appearances. Braun also has 68 walks and 36 stolen bases -- both are his most against any team -- with only four times caught stealing.
Of course, the Pirates might just be tired of seeing the Brewers, period, especially at Miller Park. Since 2014, Milwaukee is 13-5 at home against Pittsburgh. The .722 winning percentage is the fifth-best home record vs. a divisional opponent in that span.
