After throwing away a lead in back-to-back games, the Milwaukee Brewers are in must-win position as they wrap up their series against the Pittsburgh Pirates this afternoon.
In Tuesday's 5-3 loss, all of the runs were scored in the sixth inning as Milwaukee scored three in the top of the frame only to allow five in the bottom of it.
In yesterday's game, the Brew Crew held a 4-0 lead through two innings then allowed seven unanswered runs. And after they managed to even the score at 7 with a three-run eighth, they went down to a walk-off blast by Bryan Reynolds to open the bott om of the ninth.
With the St. Louis Cardinals playing two games against the Chicago Cubs today, a loss by Milwaukee and two wins by St. Louis would tie things up atop the NL Central ahead of this weekend's action, which sees the Brewers host the Reds and the Cardinals host the Yankees.
