The Milwaukee Brewers are National League Central Division champs. That was the big baseball story in Milwaukee on Wednesday, news that was confirmed late in the afternoon when the Oakland Athletics closed out a win over the second-place Chicago Cubs. But the Brewers had a game to play this evening, even if it felt anticlimactic, and it was a game that could potentially have an effect on postseason positioning in the National League.
At minimum, it was a big game with a National League powerhouse, featuring a pitcher in Aaron Nola who the Brewers very well could see again if they are to get near their World Series goal.
