The Milwaukee Brewers lost to the Colorado Rockies last night. Final score: 2-6. Meanwhile, the second-place St. Louis Cardinals beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-2. As a result, the Brewers lost a game in their NL Central Division lead.

Here's where things stand after today's games:

National League Central Division:

Team Name ............... W - L ..... GB

Milwaukee Brewers .... 87 - 63 .... --- .... (12 games left)
St. Louis Cardinals ..... 81 - 68 ... 5.5 ... (13 games left)

The Brewers "Magic Number" is (still): -- 8

The magic number represents the combination of wins by the leading team and losses by the second-place team that would clinch the division title.

Tomorrow's game: Both the Brewers and Cardinals have the day off.

Go Brewers!
