[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1791508, member: 3916"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.stltoday.com/sports/columns/jeff-gordon/tipsheet-cardinals-finish-off-brewers-move-closer-to-nl-central-title/article_a5bf09c9-11ba-59aa-9ba4-ee0d7b224902.html[/URL] [URL='https://www.stltoday.com/users/profile/Jeff%20Gordon']Jeff Gordon[/URL] By chipping into the Cardinals’ division lead during the past week, the Milwaukee Brewers stirred flickering hopes of a late run for the National League Central crown. They had staff ace Corbin Burnes on the mound Wednesday, matched up against Adam Wainwright – who had been struggling ahead of his record-setting 325th career start with Yadier Molina. Had the Brewers won, they would have moved within six games of the Cardinals. That’s not exactly “in range,” but teams have blown bigger late-season margins than that. But the Cardinals prevailed 4-1 on an historic night, pushing their lead back to eight games and reduced their magic number to 12. That was pretty much eliminated whatever chance the Brewers had to catch the Cardinals. So the Brewers can put all of their focus on catching the San Diego Padres and Philadelphia Phillies now. “We’re two games out of the wild card,” Brewers second baseman Kolten Wong said. “If you can sneak your way into the playoffs, anything can happen.” Next up for the Brewers: A six-game homestand against the playoff-bound New York Yankees and Mets.
