Cubs Prepare for Crucial Series Against Brewers

The Chicago Cubs are set to begin a crucial four-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers at Wrigley Field, starting Monday night. Currently, the Cubs are eight games behind the Brewers in the National League Central after losing to the Cincinnati Reds 7-5 on Sunday.

Pete Crow-Armstrong has been a standout player for the Cubs, hitting two home runs in the recent game, bringing his season total to 38, which ranks second in the majors. Cubs manager Craig Counsell praised Crow-Armstrong's performance, noting his impressive hitting streak.

The Brewers, who recently lost to the Texas Rangers, are focused on maintaining their lead in the division. Left-hander Kyle Harrison is scheduled to start for Milwaukee, while the Cubs will counter with right-hander Clay Holmes, who is looking to improve his performance against the Brewers.
