Milwaukee Brewers vs. Chicago Cubs score, lineups, TV, updates
The Brewers close out their four-game series against the Cubs at Wrigley Field on Thursday night, Sept. 3.
The Milwaukee Brewers are set to face off against the Chicago Cubs in a crucial four-game series at Wrigley Field on September 3. Right-hander Logan Henderson will take the mound for the Brewers, aiming to secure the team's third consecutive win in the series. The opposing pitcher will be Cubs right-hander Kevin Gausman, who has a record of 7-11 with a 4.37 ERA.
A win for the Brewers would significantly impact their standings, as it would lower their magic number to clinch the Central Division title to just 11. This means that the Brewers would only need 11 more wins in the remaining games to secure the division title. Additionally, the victory would give Milwaukee a nine-game lead over the Cubs in the Central Division, the largest margin in the division to date.
The Brewers' lineup for the game includes key players such as Jackson Chourio at left field, Brice Turang at second base, William Contreras at catcher, Jake Bauers at right field, Andrew Vaughn at first base, Christian Yelich hitting designated hitter, and Joey Ortiz at center field. Meanwhile, the Cubs' lineup features Pete Crow-Armstrong at center field, Seiya Suzuki at right field, Michael Busch at first base, Alex Bregman at third base, Ian Happ at left field, Nico Hoerner at shortstop, and Pedro Ramírez at second base.
