The Chicago Cubs did not play on Monday, but that didn't stop them from losing even more ground to the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Central race. The race is all but over as the Brewers now have a 6.5-game lead over the Cubs, and for the North Siders, the focus is quickly turning toward being the top Wild-Card team in the National League.
With a 7-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday night, the Brewers have once again gone on a winning streak of at least 10 games. The Brewers had an 11-game winning streak that started their surge ahead of the Cubs, and now, their current 10-game winning streak is allowing them to run away and hide with the division lead.
