Keston Hiura gave Milwaukee a lift when he was called up in mid-season.

His reward is more responsibility in a new-look Brewers offense. Yasmani Grandal and Mike Moustakas departed as free agents.

Manager Craig Counsell and the Brewers are counting on a full season of Hiura to help avoid a drop a the plate. Hiura debuted May 14 and hit .303 with 19 homers and 49 RBIs in 84 games to help the Brewers return to the postseason for the second straight year.

Milwaukee drafted him ninth overall in 2017 out of UC Irvine.

More than a decade since Corey Perry won the Stanley Cup as a young player and years after Joe Pavelski fell two wins short, the greybeards aren’t ready to leave the bubble and give up on another opportunity for a championship just yet. Pavelski tied it with 6:45 left in the regulation, laid out to block a shot in the first overtime and Perry’s second goal of the game came in double OT to give the Dallas Stars a 3-2 win over Tampa Bay and force a Game 6 in the Stanley Cup Final.
