Cubs clinch 4th straight playoff berth but eye NL Central crown

CHICAGO -- For the first time in franchise history, the Chicago Cubs are going to the playoffs for a fourth consecutive season. They clinched at least a spot in the National League wild-card game behind a 7-6 win in 10 innings over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday.

They're happy to be back in the postseason but have their sights set on a third consecutive division title. The Cubs lead the Milwaukee Brewers by a ½ game with four days left in the season.

"We're not taking this for granted," Albert Almora Jr said after the walk-off win.
