The Brewers sweep the Cubs with a 3-1 win on Sunday, and the Cardinals sweep the Pirates with a 7-0 victory. Both St. Louis and Milwaukee got good pitching for the weekend, the Cardinals allowing four runs, the Brewers just three. The two NL Central contenders are just two games behind Chicago.

The last 11 days of the season feature the Cubs at Milwaukee for four games, the Cubs at the Cardinals for four games, and the Brewers at the Cardinals for three games. If this stays close, it will be a wild fight to the finish in the NL Central.
