Now, a lot can happen in six days in Major League baseball – let alone six weeks. Nevertheless, the Chicago Cubs played some awfully uninspired ball on Tuesday against the second-place Milwaukee Brewers in a shutout loss.
With the win, Milwaukee closed in to within two games of first in the National League Central. And that’s not all, either. The St. Louis Cardinals took care of business at home against the Washington Nationals, drawing within four games of the Cubs.
It wasn’t so long ago the Cardinals seemed to be packing it in. A few more losses could’ve sealed their fate.
