The Cubs (19-13) won their first series against a divisional opponent in 2025, taking two of three in Pittsburgh. Chicago hit eight home runs in their victories against the Pirates, including three off the bat of Seiya Suzuki. Next, they wrap up their road trip with a journey north to Wisconsin for a three-game set with the rival Brewers starting Friday.
Milwaukee (16-16) did very little to improve their roster in the offseason and it might finally be catching up with them after years of beating expectations. The Brew Crew has hovered around .500 throughout April and looks a lot less formidable than they did in previous seasons.
