CHICAGO -- First, Milwaukee lost outfielders Keon Broxton and Kirk Nieuwenhuis to injuries. Then the Brewers blew a late lead and lost on a game-ending homer, kicking off a big party for the Chicago Cubs.It was another rough day in a long season.Ryan Braun, Orlando Arcia and Scooter Gennett homered for Milwaukee on Friday, but the Cubs got to Carlos Torres for two runs in the ninth and celebrated their NL Central title with a 5-4 win on Miguel Monteros seventh homer in the 10th inning.Carlos had a bad day, manager Craig Counsell said. Hes had a lot of good days. Today just wasnt his day.Broxton slammed into the wall in left center while tracking down Tommy La Stellas drive in the third inning, breaking his right wrist. He was replaced by Nieuwenhuis, who left in the seventh inning with an abdominal strain.Its very disappointing, Broxton said. I wanted to finish out the season, keep working, keep getting comfortable and keep getting more experience. Its a tough loss right now, but Ill come back strong.The Cubs became the first major league team to clinch their division when St. Louis lost at San Francisco late Thursday night. They had a chance to wrap it up in front of their delirious fans at Wrigley Field earlier Thursday, but Gennetts tiebreaking two-run double in the seventh lifted Milwaukee to a 5-4 win.Gennett almost ruined the party again, giving the Brewers a 4-2 lead with a two-run drive in the seventh for his 13th homer.

I guess the good thing is were close to the end of the season. Hes had almost a whole season and hell be ready for spring training.

This is only the beginning.RESTINGBrewers infielder Jonathan Villar was out of the starting lineup.
