Game Preview
The Milwaukee Brewers may have to play without Christian Yelich as they head into the final game of their three-game series against the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday. Yelich, who exited Tuesday’s 1-0 victory due to back tightness, is a significant concern for the team, according to Brewers manager Pat Murphy, and might need time on the injured list.
Yelich, the 2018 National League MVP, has been performing well this season with a .315 batting average, 11 home runs, and 42 RBIs, despite ongoing back issues since 2015. His potential absence could strain a Brewers lineup that has produced only two runs across the first two games of the series.
The Cubs claimed the first game 3-1 on Monday, while Milwaukee narrowly secured the second game. Brewers second baseman Brice Turang, breaking an 0-for-11 slump, drove in the sole run of Tuesday’s contest. His hit was a crucial one as his average had fallen from .292 at the start of July to .267 by Tuesday.
Reflecting on his approach at the plate, Turang shared, "Just trying to drive the ball through the middle of the field and being on top and hitting low line drives. It feels good. I want to win. You play this game to win, and so it feels good. We won tonight, and we’ve just got to move on to (Wednesday)."
As of Tuesday night, the Brewers had not yet announced their starting pitcher for Wednesday’s series finale.
On the Cubs’ side, despite being 49-54 and 4 1/2 games behind in the race for the final NL wild-card spot, there’s historical precedence for a late-season surge. Around this time last year, the Cubs nearly clinched a wild-card berth, falling just short. They were seven games into an eight-game win streak that pushed them over .500, a sharp contrast to their position this season.
