Milwaukee is celebrating tonight, and they've earned every bit of it. The Brewers clinched their fourth straight National League Central title Tuesday, beating Pittsburgh five to one while the Atlanta Braves did them a favor later, knocking off the Cubs six to three at Wrigley. Jacob Misiorowski was brilliant, throwing five shutout innings with seven strikeouts, improving to fifteen and five with a one point eight nine ERA. Five division titles in six seasons for this organization — that's not luck, that's a program.
Shifting to the ice, the Anaheim Ducks made a significant long-term commitment Tuesday, locking up Cutter Gauthier to a six-year deal worth thirteen point five million dollars annually. The twenty-two-year-old left wing was acquired earlier this year in a blockbuster trade, and GM Pat Verbeek wasted no time building around him, first clearing cap space by releasing Chris Kreider, then putting pen to paper on a deal that signals Anaheim is serious about its rebuild.
And in the NFL, the Los Angeles Chargers are adding a veteran receiver to their practice squad, signing Marquez Valdes-Scantling as they look to shore up their depth at the position heading deeper into the season.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
