Brewers news: Christian Yelich's vintage HR, JoJo Romero's debut, Cooper Pratt injury update

The Brewers defeated the Cubs 9-4 to extend their NL Central lead to 8.0 games and reduce their magic number to 16 for clinching a fourth consecutive division title. Christian Yelich hit a two-run home run in the fifth inning off a slider from former Cubs closer Daniel Palencia, a pitch type he has struggled with this season. The Brewers scored nine runs in the second half of the game after being held scoreless through four innings, with contributions from Luis Lara, Joey Ortiz, Cooper Pratt, Brice Turang, William Contreras, and Andrew Vaughn during the comeback.
