The Cubs have been on the road for a week and the trip must be considered a success, with a 5-2 record against the Tigers and Pirates.
They’re home for just this one series against the Brewers, a key three-game set, then head on the road again to play the Reds in an important four-game series. So I guess you could say this is the most important week for the Chicago Cubs in four years.
For more on the Brewers, here’s Harrison Freuck, manager of our SB Nation Brewers site Brew Crew Ball.
The Brewers head into a big series against the Cubs as the hottest team in baseball.
