Brewers Flying High in Division Title Race, Cardinals Struggling After Series Loss to Phillies

The Milwaukee Brewers are gaining strength in the division title race, as they have won seven of their past ten games. Conversely, the Cardinals have won only three of their last seven games after a series loss to the Phillies. Furthermore, Brewers pitcher Colin Rea has delivered a strong 3.29 ERA this month, while Cards rookie Drew Rom has struggled, with 17 runs in 22 innings on the year and only pitching more than five innings in two of his five appearances. This bodes ill for the Cardinals, especially in light of their bullpen's 4.53 ERA.
