MILWAUKEE – So long, Cubs. Or is it, “Until we meet again?” Either way, the Brewers completed their regular-season series against their chief rival on Wednesday, getting a three-run home run from Christian Yelich in the first inning and three more runs on homers from red-hot Jackson Chourio and William Contreras in the second en route to an eight-run lead going into the ninth, then hanging on for an 8-6 win and a three-game sweep at American Family Field. Mathematically, the National League Central is still a race. But by winning five of seven head-to-head matchups over the past 10 days, Milwaukee (91-56) effectively denied Chicago (81-66) a chance to make a late-season comeback by moving 10 games ahead in the standings with 15 to play. Since the Brewers hold the tiebreaker, any combination of five Brewers wins or Cubs losses over those remaining games would clinch a fourth consecutive division crown for the Crew.
