The big news of the day is that the Cubs beat the Brewers 10-3, moving to within one game of first place in the NL Central. The win also evened up the season series at three games apiece with five tilts left between the two juggernauts, all at Wrigley Field. Head-to-head matchups are the determining factor in the event the two teams finish the season with identical records. Finishing 3-3 in Milwaukee will be considered monumental if Chicago gets the division crown by way of that tiebreaker, making yesterday’s bounce back win to avoid a sweep even bigger.
