The Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs each pulled some games out of their...er, each won some games late in up and down weeks, and it ended with the Brewers losing a half game in the standings to sit a full game back going into today’s series finale against the Colorado Rockies.
Losing a game 21-5 tends to skew your numbers for a weekly review; the Crew had a 4-3 record while being outscored by 11 runs on the week. And Friday night’s 5-3 walk-off win on Eric Thames’ homer quickly had us forgetting that Thursday 21-5 loss to the Dodgers - although I apparently haven’t forgotten it since I’ve already referenced it twice.
