Thursday night the Cubs became the first team this season to clinch a postseason spot. They did that despite losing to the Brewers (MIL 5, CHC 4) at home in Wrigley Field because the Cardinals lost to the Giants (SF 6, STL 2). The St. Louis loss gave Chicago the 2016 NL Central title.
Because the Cardinals were out on the West Coast and lost late at night Thursday, the Cubs couldn't properly celebrate their division title.
