Brewers trim division clinching magic number to two games after winning series against Cardinals
Onto the next one
The Milwaukee Brewers are closing in on the NL Central and they appear hungry to lock it up sooner rather than later. As I type this, the Chicago Cubs have just lost to the Pittsburgh Pirates, which brings Milwaukee’s magic number to clinch the NL Central to two games.
After dropping the first game of a four-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals, the Brewers locked in and won the three remaining games to push their record to 87-66.
Some of the key contributors are listed below because, you know, this is kind of our thing. This week we’re handing out beers like Halloween candy. I can see October through the windshield and I can’t wait to reach the destination. Up next is a trip to Miami for three games against a potential playoff opponent.
