MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Brewers will have their work cut out for them when they take on Aaron Nola and the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday evening at Miller Park, but you can bet they’ll keep at least one eye on the out-of-town scoreboard.
Milwaukee maintained its 5 1/2-game lead over second-place Chicago in the National League Central on Friday night with a 9-6 victory over Philadelphia.
With the Brewers looking to lock down their first playoff berth in six years, the reality of being in a pennant race is starting to sink in. Most of the young Brewers have never been in the position.
