Brewers Still In Division Chase After Beating Reds

The Milwaukee Brewers are still in both the National League Wild Card and Central Division races after beating Cincinnati at home, 7-6. Hernan Perez drove in the game winner with a sacrifice fly — Domingo Santana hit a three run homer — Stephen Vogt belted three doubles and scored twice — Josh Hader got the win in relief — and Corey Knebel picked up his 38th save. Zack Cozart, Scott Schebler, and Jesse Winker all homered for Cincinnati — and rookie Deck McGuire took the loss, giving up six runs in three innings. The Brewers are still one and a half games behind Colorado for the final N-L Wild Card with an elimination number of four, as any combination of Rockies’ wins and Brewers’ losses would knock Milwaukee out of the playoffs. The Chicago Cubs have yet to clinch the Central after losing 8-7 at Saint Louis Tuesday, but Milwaukee would be out of the division race if the Brewers lose or the Cubs win tonight (Wednesday).
