The Milwaukee Brewers are coming off yet another series victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, improving to 76-60 on the season and holding onto a 3 1⁄2 game lead over the Cubs with a little less than a month to go.
To get back to the postseason, the Brewers will need to take advantage of some of their lesser opponents down the stretch, starting with the Pirates this week.
Pittsburgh started the season 20-8 and in first place in the NL Central, but since that time, they’ve gone 43-66, sitting at 63-74 on the season and in fourth place in the division.
