OK, so today it’s just the scores. I’m catching an early flight home from St. Louis -- the land of unhappy Cardinals fans, based on my interaction with them late last night -- and don’t have time for a full recap. But if you use your imagination I’m sure you can fill in the blanks.
Short version, though: a great night for Christian Yelich and the Brewers, who pulled to within a half game of the Cubs after dominating St. Louis. A bad night for the Cardinals, whose loss to those Brewers -- combined with the Rockies’ win over the Phillies -- puts them a half game outside of the playoff picture and moves Colorado into the second Wild Card slot. Also a bad night for the Dodgers whose walkoff loss to Arizona puts them only a half game ahead of Colorado in the NL West.
We only have five days left in this season, but there’s still stuff to sort out.
