The Milwaukee Brewers could be eliminated from the National League Central race as early as tomorrow (Tuesday). That’s after the second place Brewers lost 5-0 to the Chicago Cubs Sunday at Miller Park, as the Crew dropped three of four to the division leading Cubs. Jose Quintana tossed a three hitter, striking out ten as he improved to 11-11 — while Chase Anderson went six and a third innings for the loss, falling to 11-4 as the Cubs pulled away in the final three innings on a two run homer from Ben Zobrist and a two run double from Anthony Rizzo. The Cubs’ magic number to clinch the Central is two — and they could eliminate third place Saint Louis tonight (Monday) at Busch Stadium while Milwaukee is off. The Brewers still have a shot at the final N-L Wild Card, as they’re now two games behind Colorado going into the final week of the regular season.
