The Cubs have led the National League Central by as many as 6 ½ games this season, but the Brewers and Cardinals have made up ground the last week and a half, as the Cubs have hit some rough terrain.
By the end of Sunday, after the Cubs’ 2-0 loss to the Astros, the Brewers (47-37) and Cardinals (47-38) had pulled to within two and 2 ½ games back of the Cubs (49-35), respectively.
“You want to have urgency every time you come to the ballpark,” right-hander Jameson Taillon said after limiting the Astros to two runs in 4 u2154 innings Sunday.
