The Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs' NLDS series is going the distance, with a decisive Game 5 being played tonight at American Family Field. In the series, home teams remain undefeated, with the energy of the home crowd having a major influence on each game.
In the first two games, Milwaukee’s home crowd showered manager Craig Counsell with boos while creating an electric atmosphere that energized the Brewers to back-to-back emphatic wins. In response, the Chicago fan base matched that intensity on Wednesday and Thursday night, bringing a playoff-level environment of their own to this I-94 rivalry.
