  "textContent": "<p>Not even two weeks ago, the <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https://chicago.suntimes.com/cubs\" target=\"_blank\" >Cubs</a> completed their second 10-game winning streak of the season.</p><p>How wickedly good must a team be to roll 10s twice in such a short stretch of the season? Best-in-baseball good, the Cubs’ 27-12 record at roughly the quarter mark said.</p><p>But <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https://chicago.suntimes.com/cubs/2026/05/19/cubs-struggle-against-the-brewers-hard-throwing-jacob-misorowski\" target=\"_blank\" >four straight series losses since then</a> have sent the Wile E. Coyote Cubs smashing face-first into a painting of a tunnel on a cliffside wall. And dropping an anvil on their head this week at Wrigley Field was — who else? — the ever-clever, always-one-step-ahead Brewers, who crossed the white lines Wednesday with a chance at a three-game sweep and, more importantly, back in first place in the National League Central.</p><p>Only the Cubs’ yearly tormentors would be so brazen and mischievous as to speed into town amid their hottest stretch of the season and give the Cubs’ early division lead — the Cubs’ whole early-season winning vibe, really — the box-of-TNT treatment.</p><p>Some things never change.</p><p>“I’m not surprised by this at all,” longtime left fielder Christian Yelich told the Sun-Times. “Regardless of what’s said from the outside or how we may be perceived — good or bad — by other people, our expectation is still to win.”</p><p>To be clear, Yelich was talking about the division.</p><p>Yes, the same division the Cubs were favored to win — again — and still are, in fact.</p><p>Yes, the same division the Brewers have won back-to-back-to-back, leaving the Cubs in the dust while utterly blowing past any and all win-total projections from leading analytics nerds for the small-market powerhouse. Three straight Brewers teams have gone deep into the 90s in wins and made double-digit mockeries of those projections.</p><div class=\"RelatedList Enhancement\" data-module data-align-center> <div class=\"RelatedList-title\">Related</div> <ul class=\"RelatedList-items\"> <li class=\"RelatedList-items-item\"> <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https://chicago.suntimes.com/cubs/2026/05/19/cubs-struggle-against-the-brewers-hard-throwing-jacob-misorowski\" >Cubs struggle against the Brewers’ hard-throwing Jacob Misiorowski</a> </li> <li class=\"RelatedList-items-item\"> <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https://chicago.suntimes.com/cubs/2026/03/25/cubs-over-brewers-nl-central-milwaukee-chicago-mlb\" >Cubs over Brewers in NL Central?

I think that might be the most underrated part of this [team].”</p><p>But back to the division. Indeed — meep, meep! — the Brewers plan to confound and foil Wile E. Coyote yet again.</p><p>“It’s something we expect to do,” Misiorowski said.</p><p>“It’s the standard here,” Yelich said. “I think it’s a blessing to have those expectations and that kind of standard, because it’s taken a long time to build that and it’s something we take pride in.”</p><p>Just before Opening Day in Milwaukee, Yelich told a visiting scribe that people could keep waiting for the Brewers to “suck,” but he didn’t see them getting their wish.</p><p>“That’s definitely not changing this year,” he warned then.</p><p>And by the looks of things, why would it? The Brewers began Wednesday’s game with more than twice the run differential — plus-70 to plus-33 — of the Cubs, rooted in the Brewers outstanding starting pitching and bullpen. They get on base at a far higher clip than most, steal more bases, excel in myriad small ways and apply constant pressure to opponents — the lifeblood of a good team, as manager Pat Murphy sees it.</p><p>If the Brewers have a weakness, it’s that they’ve hit the fewest home runs in the majors. But they’ve also allowed the fewest.</p><p>No, it didn’t count as a Brewers dinger when David Hamilton bounced a routine single under center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong’s glove, the ball rolled all the way to the wall and three runners — including Hamilton — scored to put the sweep-minded visitors up 3-0 in the second inning of the finale. But ask yourselves: Would PCA have whiffed on that ball against any other team? Take all the time you need to decide.</p><p>In Murphy, the Brewers have the winner of the last two NL Manager of the Year awards. In president of baseball operations Matt Arnold, they have baseball’s back-to-back executive of the year. They even went into the season with MLB Pipeline’s No. 1-ranked farm system, enhanced by returns in the trade of pitcher Freddy Peralta to the Mets.</p><p>These guys are running down the same road they always do. The Cubs can't get rid of them.</p><p>“A huge part of this game is confidence and belief,” Yelich said. “You can do some special things when everybody’s headed in that direction.”</p><div class=\"Enhancement\" data-align-center><div class=\"Enhancement-item\"> <div class=\"ExternalContent-wrapper\" > <div class=\"TweetUrl\"> <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">🚨 DAVID HAMILTON LITTLE LEAGUE HOME RUN 🚨 <a href=\"https://t.co/P2rUVVfTiw\">pic.twitter.com/P2rUVVfTiw</a></p>— Milwaukee Brewers (@Brewers) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/Brewers/status/2057251761975370105?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 21, 2026</a></blockquote> <script async src=\"https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"></script> </div> </div> </div></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><bsp-listcarousel class=\"PageListE\" data-module data-column-count=3 data-hide-authors=\"true\" data-hide-categories=\"true\" data-hide-dates=\"true\" data-hide-descriptions=\"true\" data-show-loadmore=\"true\" ><a class=\"AnchorLink\" id=\"list-c90005\" name=\"list-c90005\"></a><div class=\"PageList-header\" > <div class=\"PageList-header-title-wrap\" > <div class=\"PageList-header-title\"> <a class=\"\" href=\"https://chicago.suntimes.com/cubs\" target=\"{borderColor=#dfdfdf, pageNumber=1, titleUrl=https://chicago.suntimes.com/cubs, inverseColors=false, footerBgColor=#000000, pagination=[{body=[Next Page], href=?p=2, _template=/link/Link.hbs, contentId=null, pianoSectionSlug=null, target=null}], title=Latest on the Cubs, bodyFont=font-3, showListNumbers=false, imagePositionHorizontal=null, rteBodyFont=font-3, headerBottomBorderColor=#111010, subTitle=null, stickyHeader=true, listTitleColor=#000000, tableCellBorderColor=#ccd1d5, relatedListFont=font-1, hideAuthors=true, tertiaryTextColor=#6c6c6c, buttonHoverTextColor=#ffffff, tableFont=font-1, carouselAutoPlay=false, promoTitleFont=font-2, ctaButtonText=[], primaryTextColor=#2a2a2a, buttonTextColor=#ffffff, linkTextColor=#1a1a1a, hideTitles=false, footerLinkColor=#ffffff, carouselSpeed=null, pullQuoteIcon=[{image=null, narrowImage=null, _template=/image/Image.hbs, alt=null}], buttonHoverBgColor=#a91d23, rteHeadingFont=font-1, secondaryColor=#656565, hideCategories=true, _template=/page/list/includes/PageList-header.hbs, font3=Arial, font4=Source-serif-4, ctaUrl=null, pageCount=4643, hideImage=false, footerLinkHoverColor=#d3242c, _styledTemplate=/page/list/PageListE.hbs, hideAudioPlayback=false, description=[], listColumns234=null, showSecondItemMedia=false, footerTextColor=#ffffff, hideDescriptions=true, count=13927, headerSecondaryBgColor=#000000, primaryTextColorInverse=#ffffff, items=[{title=It's Reality Week at Wrigley Field, where determined Brewers outclassed Cubs.
