Just saw the following tweet from Mike Vassallo, the Brewers director of media relations:
Congrats to Jean Segura, named NL Player of the Week for 5/6-5/12 (10-20, .500, 2hr, 2rbi, 5 runs, .950 SLG, .545 OBP). #Brewers

Jean Segura is the second Brewer to be named player of the week in 2013. Carlos Gomez also received the honor for the week of April 15-21.
Despite a 1-4 week, Segura has continued to be impressive for the Brewers. His .359 batting average is second in the National League, only behind teammate Carlos Gomez. He has also provided an unexpected source of home runs for the Brewers with six in the season, as well as stolen bases with ten so far. He also is 2nd in the NL in WAR at 2.0, also only behind Gomez.
