The Milwaukee Brewers continued their strong September run with a 6-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs, extending their lead in the NL Central. Corbin Burnes was dominant, striking out 11 over seven innings, while Willy Adames homered twice to provide the offensive spark.
With the win, the Brewers are now five games ahead of the Cubs, who are fighting for a Wild Card spot. Milwaukee has relied on its pitching staff all season, and Burnes' performance only solidified his status as one of the best arms in the league. “We’re playing our best baseball right now,” said manager Craig Counsell. “If we keep this up, we’ll be in great shape for the playoffs.”
