Yes, Brewers #4, Cubs #0. Now, if the Brewers could just drop a game or 2 in Cincy.Also,

They do have to face 2 of the Reds best pitchers.

That would bring joy to my heart! Toss in a Cub's loss, for my Brewer's fans sake.

That would be OK, too. Wouldn't mind seeing the Brewers get the home field for the Wild Card game against the Nationals. Pirates have lost 9 in a row, and the Cubs 6. Something's got to give!

Cardinal relievers so often have a tough time getting through the ninth inning unscathed.

My wife just checked in to see how the game was going and I said that he pitched a beauty and her reply, 'He was robbed of a win..AGAIN??' Such a shame....
...Goldy with a Homer by a whisker!!! Hopefully it stands and we can call it a night!

Would have been nice for Goldies HR to win it but Shildt just had to use Gant. I'm calling it a night going into bottom of 17th. Hopefully I'll wake to some good news but I doubt it with I think Leone coming in. Probably 1 pitch and game over.
The bullpen only gave up 3 runs over 11 2/3 innings. That's pretty good!
Gants been lost for awhile now. Innings/ # of appearances wore him down. Hopefully they can clinch in before the Cubs series so he can get some rest.

i Didn’t get to watch the game but wasn’t surprised by the L. Sounds like they piled on 6th and we just dug ourselves too big a hole. Bummer but not the end of the world. I just hope the cubs don’t play spoiler for us.
The Reds are supposed to have Castillo going against the Brewers tomorrow afternoon so that may, hopefully, work in our favor.
If we win 2 against the Cubs and the Brewers win the next 4 to tie up the division, you just have to tip your cap. That would make them 22-2 to finish out the season.
But maybe we can sweep the Cubs again. I have no idea what to expect out of them. Obviously their season is over so maybe they just want to get it over with. But I have a feeling they will want some revenge.
