The Milwaukee Brewers are back home at American Family Field, ready to battle their NL Central rivals, the St. Louis Cardinals, in a crucial three-game series. With playoff aspirations hanging in the balance, every game is a must-win for the Crew.
Brewers Aim to Clinch Playoff Berth
After a tough road trip that saw them swept by the Texas Rangers, the Brewers are eager to bounce back in front of their home crowd.

They are coming off a sweep at the hands of the Mariners and are looking to turn things around.
