The Brewers have gone 9-2 since August 29, outscoring their opponents 65-41 over that span. Milwaukee is tied for the major league lead in runs since that date with the Oakland Athletics and the Tampa Bay Rays, and the team's .818 win percentage in this span is the best in MLB.

The Cubs have dropped four of their last six games, scoring as many runs (12) in their two victories as in their four losses. The team will return to Chicago where it has won seven of eight behind an average of 6.13 runs.

Anthony Rizzo and Christian Yelich both have a .381 on-base percentage, with Rizzo edging Yelich by percentage points to rank sixth in the NL among qualifying left-handed hitters. The Brewers are 70-40 (.636) when Yelich reaches base at least once while the Cubs have gone 67-44 (.604) when Rizzo reaches.

Wade Miley faced the Cubs at home in his last start, going 6.0 innings and limiting Chicago to one run on three hits. In three career starts at Wrigley, Miley has allowed 11 earned runs in 19.0 innings (5.21 ERA), and has allowed 1.89 home runs per nine innings.

Jon Lester has thrown 158.0 innings in 2018, his 11th consecutive season with at least that many innings pitched. Lester is tied for the longest active streak in MLB with Zack Greinke, who also has thrown at least 150.0 innings in every season since 2008.

CHICAGO -- The Chicago Cubs had hoped to use the past four days to maintain or pad their lead in the National League Central, but the weather certainly didn't cooperate.
Heading into a pivotal three-game series against the second-place Milwaukee Brewers, the Cubs will attempt to again create some distance. The series opens a day after Chicago's scheduled series finale against the Washington Nationals was washed out by rain, which was a constant throughout the weekend.

Cubs return home for key series with fast-closing Brewers

CHICAGO (AP)  Right after Tommy La Stella struck out swinging for the final out, Jeremy Jeffress pounded his glove with his right hand and Erik Kratz pumped his right arm in jubilation.
Forget about the wild-card standings. The Milwaukee Brewers are fighting for the NL Central title.
