A weekend series in Chicago gives the Milwaukee Brewers a chance to get right back into the race for the National League Central Division. Milwaukee avoided a sweep by the Cardinals Wednesday afternoon with a 4-1 win. Jordan Lyles continued his strong work after arriving in a trade, earning his ninth win. Rookie Keston Hiura knocked in three of the Brewers’ runs with a homer and a double as the Cardinals’ six-game winning streak ended. Milwaukee is off today (Thursday), then plays the Cubs Friday afternoon. Chase Anderson will start the game, with a first pitch scheduled for 1:20 PM.
