Sun Sep 14 20:00:00 UTC 2025: **Brewers Aim for Sweep, Eye NL Central Title After Dramatic Cardinals Victory**

**Milwaukee, WI -** Riding high from a thrilling come-from-behind victory against the St. Louis Cardinals last night, the Milwaukee Brewers will look to complete a series sweep this afternoon at American Family Field. The Brewers, who clinched a postseason berth on Saturday thanks to a Mets loss, are now setting their sights on a bigger prize: the NL Central division title and a coveted first-round bye in the playoffs.

The Brewers currently have a magic number of eight to clinch the NL Central and a first-round bye, and 11 to guarantee home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. Last night’s win against the Cardinals, in light of how unlikely it was, put an exclamation point on the Brewers journey.

Today’s game features a pitching matchup of Jose Quintana for the Brewers against veteran Miles Mikolas for the Cardinals. Quintana, looking to solidify his place on the postseason roster, is coming off a shaky outing against the Rangers but has generally been a reliable starter for Milwaukee. This marks his third start against the Cardinals this season, having experienced mixed results in previous matchups. Mikolas, a familiar foe for the Brewers, has a solid track record against Milwaukee at American Family Field, despite a less-than-stellar season overall.

Manager Pat Murphy is making a few lineup adjustments, giving Andrew Monasterio a start at shortstop after his game-winning hit last night and Danny Jansen the nod at catcher while William Contreras gets a day of rest.

Before the game, Christian Yelich spoke about the significance of reaching the postseason. Adding to the atmosphere, manager Pat Murphy shared a heartfelt letter from Brewers icon Bob Uecker, offering his support from afar.

First pitch is scheduled for 1:10 p.m. CT and will be broadcast on FanDuel Sports Wisconsin, Telemundo Wisconsin, and the Brewers Radio Network.
