Cubs Lose, Idle Brewers Move To Within One Game In Central

(Undated) — The Milwaukee Brewers have moved to within one game of first place Chicago in the National League Central with Saint Louis just one and a half back. The Brewers were idle Thursday while the Cubs hit six homers and still lost to Cincinnati 13-10 at Wrigley Field and the Cardinals gained ground with an 11-7 victory at Pittsburgh, as the Pirates dropped to five and a half back. The Brewers open a tough nine game road trip Friday at Colorado, San Francisco, and Los Angeles and with only 40 games left by the time they get home, this road trip could determine whether Milwaukee stays in the race or fades. Manager Craig Counsell says it’s a challenge every night and if they play well, there’s a good chance they’ll win. The road trip starts with three games at Colorado as Matt Garza starts Friday against Rockies’ right hander German Marquez.
