Cubs Look To Keep Momentum Against Brewers
The Chicago Cubs hope to continue their winning ways as they travel to face the Milwaukee Brewers in the first of a three-game series. The Cubs are fourth in the NL Central and trail the first-place Brewers by 13 games. They have not lost a series since their season-high ten-game losing streak ended back on June 21 and most recently took two of three from the Boston Red Sox.
Milwaukee is holding a slim two-game lead over the St. Louis Cardinals and split their last series with Pittsburgh Pirates. They have now won six of their previous eight games and go for their third straight win at home this afternoon.
