Crew cuts magic number to 4 with blowout win

PITTSBURGH -- Christian Yelich and Travis Shaw hit a projected 864 feet worth of home runs in the second inning as the Milwaukee Brewers jumped out to a big early lead and pulled ahead for a wild 13-6 victory at PNC Park on Sunday.

The win helped the Brewers keep pace in both the National League Central race, in which they trailed the Cubs by 2 1/2 games entering Sunday, and the NL Wild Card, which they led the Cardinals by two games for the top spot entering Sunday. The Brewers' magic number to clinch a postseason berth is now four.
