Brewers Win; Remain In Thick Of Division, Wild Card Races

The Milwaukee Brewers remain in contention for both the division title and a wild card after taking two of three at Colorado, capped off by an 8-4 victory Sunday. Jesus Aguilar homered twice — Jonathan Villar had three singles — Chase Anderson earned the win in his first start since June 28th, giving up one run in five innings following his oblique injury — and Corey Knebel got his 26th save by striking out his only batter after Colorado scored twice in the bottom of the ninth. Former Brewer Mark Reynolds homered for the Rockies, who still hold the first National League Wild Card playoff spot as Milwaukee is now two and a half games behind Arizona for the second and final Wild Card. The Brewers are now two games behind the first place Cubs in the N-L Central Division, as the Crew continues its nine game road trip tonight (Monday) at San Francisco.
