The Milwaukee Brewers are playoff-bound for the sixth time in seven years and the tenth time in franchise history.
That’s because The Oakland A’s defeated The Chicago Cubs 5 to 3 at Wrigley Field Wednesday afternoon, leaving the Cubs now to chase the third and final wildcard spot in The National League.
It was reported that The Brewers watched the A’s and Cubs in their clubhouse at American Family Field and will celebrate after tonight’s important game with The Philadelphia Phillies.
Milwaukee still has a chance of earning one of the top two seeds in the National League playoffs, giving them a first-round bye and the first two games of a best-of-five divisional series at home.
They trail Philadelphia by four games for the number one seed and the Los Angeles Dodgers by two games for the number two seed, heading into action Wednesday night.
The Brewers can finish no worse than a three-seed by winning the division, meaning they would host all three games of a best-of-three National League Wild Card Series beginning October 1.
Philadelphia clinches a playoff berth and the National League East with a victory and an Atlanta loss at Cincinnati loss tonight.
