Brewers crowned as NL Central champions, take series win over St. Louis Cardinals

The champagne was sprayed in Milwaukee

The Milwaukee Brewers are your 2023 National League Central champs. Tuesday’s series opener against the St. Louis Cardinals didn’t go to plan, but it didn’t matter. The Cubs blew a six-run lead to the Atlanta Braves that was punctuated by a Seiya Suzki 8th inning dropped fly-ball that brought home the tying and winning runs.

The Brewers celebrated raucously in the clubhouse and made sure to mention that the work is not done yet. This is a team that wants to finish the job and win the World Series. Even with nothing to play for, The Crew went out and took the final two games of the series to remind the Cardinals who the captain is.

Next up is three games against the aforementioned Cubs. The Cubs are desperately trying to stop the bleeding and The Brewers have a chance to knock them out of Wild Card contention if they collect a few wins over the weekend.
