The Brewers’ quest to claim the NL Central title continued into Saturday. After winning on Friday against the Marlins, the magic number was brought down to one. Another win over the Marlins or a Cubs loss would be enough to get their third division title since 2018. After the Cubs won via come-from-behind fashion, the Brewers would be left to try and do it themselves.
With Brandon Woodruff on the mound, they would have to make it a comeback effort to get the title. In the bottom of the 1st, Luis Arraez led off with a single and Josh Bel got on with a walk.
