That escalated quickly: Cubs just a game back of Brewers, could be in first place as soon as this weekend
Don't look now, but the Cubs are just a game out of first place in the National League Central standings and could take over first place sometime this weekend. While the Cubs have been on their post All-Star break tear, winners of all six of their games since the Midsummer Classic, the first-place Milwaukee Brewers have been on a simultaneous skid, losers of their last five games. What was a five and a half game difference between the Cubs and Brewers at the break is now just a one-game gap.
