After starting the season with a series against a non-competitive San Diego team, the Brewers got a bit of a rude awakening when they returned home this week against the St. Louis Cardinals.
St. Louis’ stacked lineup jumped on the Brewers early and often, and if it weren’t for improbable back-to-back homers to win Tuesday night’s game, the local nine would’ve been swept. Now, an equally dangerous lineup comes to town in the form of the Chicago Cubs -- and they’re bringing better pitching than the Cardinals did.
But despite the expectation that they’d run away with the NL Central, the Cubs are again finding themselves in the middle of a bit of a slow start.
