Brewers coaches and front office officials have spent hours in meetings and Zoom sessions over recent days discussing how to get through this particularly burdensome stretch of the schedule without blowing out the pitching on the cusp of a pennant push.

The Milwaukee Brewers once trailed the Chicago Cubs in the National League Central by 6 1/2 games. That is no longer the case.

The Brewers are back in the win columnn, shutting out the Cubs 9-0 Monday afternoon. A "massive" punishment is likely coming for Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles, perhaps as soon as Monday afterno.
