Game starts at 1:10 CT, ESPN does not indicate national TV coverage. Brewers lead this years series with them at 7-3, hoping we add to that disparity.
ESPN Gamecast says the Crew has a 67.1% chance of winning.
Which Freddy will we see?

A pretty normal line up for Milwaukee, surprised at Bauers (200 avg) batting 4th though:

Adames 3 run HR in the 1st gives the Crew a 3-0 lead. How many 3 run HR's for him now?
Willie Adames hit his 13th 3run HR in the first. His 29th HR of the year. He ties Ken Griffey Jr. in 1996 for the mot 3 run HR in a single season. Griffey hit 49 that year. #Brewers #MLBstats #MLBrecord

Chourio with a Grand Salami! ROTY!!!!
9-3 Brewers.
Crew leads 9-3 going into the 9th, 3 outs needed to put this one away.
And that's a wrap, Crew wins 9-3 
Brewers now lead this year's series 8-3
"Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames extended his home run streak to five games to tie a team record as he belted a three-run shot in the first inning of Monday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Adames tied the mark set by Jeromy Burnitz in 1997 and Eric Thames in 2017 as the only players in franchise history to accomplish the feat.
It was also the 13th three-run homer of the season for Adames, as he joins Ken Griffey Jr. (1996) as the only players in major league history to do so"
| 2024 | Willy Adames | 13 |
| 1996 | Ken Griffey Jr. | 13 |
| 2000 | Sammy Sosa | 12 |
| 1997 | Tino Martinez | 12 |
| 1953 | Roy Campanella | 12 |
Magic number 15!!

9-3 Brewers.
That gamble to sign Chourio to an 8 year, 80 million contract may end up ranking up there as one of the best Brewer contracts ever.
They would have gotten him for 3 years very cheaply (maybe about 3 million total), but even if he just repeats what he did this year the next two years, they'd have been looking at 15 million a year or more for the final 3 years or arbitration. Those final two years of the contract will likely be one of the best values in baseball at 10 million a year.
If Chourio would have hit the open market when he was 26 years old (instead of 28), what would be get if he just stays consistently this good? 8 years and 300 million?
Kick the bitches to the curb in game 2.
Cubs give up 4 in the 8th and 1 in the 9th and lose 5-3 to the Pirates. Magic number down to 14.

He, like Adames, have time yet this year to create a long lasting team all time high record.
An amazing season, so far and as others here have noted, the Crew are doing this without Yelich, Woodruff, Hader and Burnes. Whodathunk? Pat Murphy has got to get Manager of the Year!
Still have a month to go in the regular season....the most important month....keep crushing the cards & cubs. Then go and stun some high payroll teams in the playoffs.
16-8 to 97 wins.

Skenes goes tonight for the Pirates against the Cubs.
Cards pitching a guy with a 6.18 ERA against Civale for the Brewers.

And without Williams for well over half the year - and without Miley. Don't forget about losing Gasser, Uribe, or Hoby Milner (who had a 1.82 ERA for Milwaukee last year in 73 games).
Of the guys that ranked in the top 12 for at-bats in a Brewer uniform in 2023, the Brewers currently only have 4 of them.
Of the guys who ranked in the top 14 in appearances as pitchers last year, the Brewers only have 7 of them right now.
They did all this despite only signing one big-money free agent (Hoskins got 12 million).
They got Adames by trading two pitchers that aren't even playing this year.
They got Contreras because the A's wanted Esteury Ruiz instead.
Going for win #2. Willy going for 6 in a row!!! Get that magic number down to 13.
Ok, I'm dumb. What happened to Uribe? I remember he got sent down with the suspension hanging over his head.
He get hurt too?
Uribe had season ending knee surgery on July 18th. He is still on the 40 man roster.
Ortiz homers leading off the 3rd. Brewers down 2 - 1.
And Chourio ties it up, 2-2!!!! 
baseball!!!!
What the heck happened, ESPN gamecast posted Hoskins HR in the 2nd, then 30 seconds later removed it and he grounded out? 
Happy to see they tied it with 2 HR's in the 3rd 
Murphy's Maulers are mauling them.
And just like that the Cards answer with a HR of their own making it 3-2 
Back to a 3 - 3 tie. After a Goldschmidt homer in the 4th a Turang double and a Chourio double in the 5th tie it back up.
Cards appealed Hoskins homer and it was ruled foul.
Chourio is approaching Yelich 2018 level the last two months.
If he didn't have such a poor start he'd be a shoo in for Rookie of the Year.
Williams on tonight. A 1, 2, 3 inning with 2 strike outs. 
To the bottom of the 9th--hopefully walk off time for the Brewers!
Chourio is flat out locked in right now.
If he keeps playing like this, no disrespect to Skenes or Merrill, but he'll win Rookie of the Year.
His last 55 games (tonight included):
219 AB, 40 runs, 72 hits, 16 doubles, 2 triples, 12 home runs, 42 RBI, 12/14 stolen bases, 16 walks, 36 strikeouts. .329 AVG/.382 OBP/.584 SLG/.967 OPS.
That comes out to 646 at bats, 118 runs, 212 hits, 47 doubles, 6 triples, 35 home runs, 124 RBI, 35 stolen bases, 47 walks, 106 walks in a full season.
MP2 is right. He's approaching Christian Yelich MVP level of play. Yeli had a 1.000 OPS when he won it.
Adames hasn't homered yet. So that would be perfect.
Extra innings....
Extra innings and Murphy takes Williams out after a dominant 9th after only 14 pitches.
Interesting that the Cardinals sacrifice bunt as the visiting team to start the 9th. Murphy was just saying last week, he's tries to play for more than one run if he's the visiting team.
