Wrigley wind causes havoc as Brewers lose tight series with Cubs, but remain in control of NL Central
The NL Central race is on
All good things must come to an end. The Milwaukee Brewers have seen their winning streak come to an end at nine games, as they dropped two of three games against the division rival Chicago Cubs.
The first game of the series saw them victorious, but they finished the series by dropping a pair of one run games in windy conditions. You win some, you lose some. It’s clear that this division race could go down to the wire.
That being said, the Brewers remain in the driver’s seat with a three game lead over the Cubs. Next up is a meeting with the top dog in the Wild Card race, the Philadelphia Phillies. Let’s hand out some beers.
