Closer in the Central
Both the Cubs and Brewers lost by the same score today, 5-4. With the Cardinals winning, St. Louis is now just two games out of first and half a game out of second. The Brewers fall all the way back to .500 with their loss. They blow a 4-1 lead as Guillermo Rodriguez hits his first career major league home run off David Bush in the seventh to tie the game, and then in the eight, Pedro Feliz scored from first on a single:
With two outs, Aurilia hit a high fly ball off Scott Linebrink (4-5) that landed near right fielder Corey Hart, second baseman Rickie Weeks and the foul line. Feliz scored easily when Hart's throw traveled up the third base line.
"I didn't want to dive for it," Hart said. "I just made a bad throw."
Said Feliz: "The wind is kind of crazy here and I saw he was playing back. You have to take advantage of that."
The Brewers are in the phase where everything that can go wrong does.
what about the pirates they still have a slim chance of winning the division so come on pirates
