NEW YORK — A month ago, the Milwaukee Brewers and New York Yankees were surprise division leaders.
Of the two, only the Brewers remain in first place.
Milwaukee will attempt to add to its lead in the National League Central while the Yankees will attempt to not fall further behind in the American League East on Friday night in the opener of a three-game series at Yankee Stadium.
The Brewers (48-40) are 16-12 in the past month, and they hold a 4 1/2 game lead on the Chicago Cubs after getting an 11-2 win in a makeup game in at Wrigley Field on Thursday afternoon.
