Even though the Milwaukee Brewers have clinched their first playoff berth since 2011, don’t expect manager Craig Counsell and his troops to take it easy on Detroit. The Brewers still have an eye on a bigger prize — first-place in the National League Central Division. The Cubs’ 3-0 win over Pittsburgh Thursday night leaves the Brewers one game back with three left to play. Zach Davies starts the first game of the final series of the season tonight at Miller Park against the Tigers, and will be facing off against right hander Jordan Zimmerman. Pregame coverage will begin on WOMT 1240 AM at 6:35PM.
