After letting a winnable game get away from them yesterday, the Milwaukee Brewers can't afford another letdown this afternoon against the Chicago Cubs.
Seven runs will get the job done more often than not, but the Brew Crew blew three leads in an 8-7 loss in yesterday's series opener at Wrigley Field.
With the St. Louis Cardinals winning their fifth straight game, Milwaukee is now four games back in the NL Central. Their loss also hurt in the NL wild-card standings, as they would have gained ground on the Philadelphia Phillies and San Diego Padres yesterday.
