The Brewers have clinched another division title, according to the Wausau Pilot & Review. The New York Times notes that this marks a make-or-break point in the season for the Cubs.

The Brewers' recent 5-1 win over the Pirates, as reported by ESPN, has further solidified their position. The Pirates, however, have broken their team record for home runs in a season, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, but this development does not directly impact the Brewers' magic number.

The current state of the standings and schedule will determine the Brewers' chances of securing a first-round bye.
