The Milwaukee Brewers secured a pivotal 6-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, edging closer to clinching the NL Central title. With their magic number down to two, a win on Tuesday or a loss by the Chicago Cubs will seal the division for the Brewers.

Joey Ortiz and William Contreras contributed significantly, each driving in two runs. Brewers starter Aaron Civale had a strong outing, while Colin Rea earned his first career save.

Despite the defeat, the Phillies struggled with clutch opportunities, going 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position.
