Overbay, one of six players Milwaukee obtained in the trade that sent Richie Sexson to the Diamondbacks last offseason, entered the week with a .326 batting average and 67 RBIs, both best on the club.

TSN: This obviously qualifies as a breakout season for you. What has made the big difference?

LO: Getting back to my old self. Sometimes last year I was trying to do too much. This year, I've gotten back to base hits and hitting balls in the gap.

TSN: Was it the Diamondbacks who envisioned you as a home run hitter?

LO: Not really. I think it was just more of them trying to win right now. They did everything to try and win now, so I didn't get a chance to develop and see what I could do.

TSN: Who has helped you the most with your swing since coming to the Brewers?

LO: (Hitting coach) Butch Wynegar had seen me in the minors and knew my swing, but it was more a situation where he just tried to make me confident in what I could do.
