The Cubbies sweep the Rockies for the last home stand of the season! This one was huge as all the teams in the wild card hunt also won today. 

 

The Brewers did lose, which keeps the North Siders in the hunt for the division.

 

The Cubs have Monday off before heading to Atlanta.

Note:  in the event of ties in the standings at the end of the regular season, MLB will no longer have "Game 163" tiebreakers. Instead, regular season head-to-head records will be used to break the tie. If the Cubs were to win their next six games, and if the Brewers were to lose their next six games, the Cubs would win the regular season series 8-5 and would win the division.
