ST. LOUIS (AP) _ The Milwaukee Brewers clinched their first playoff spot since 2011, ensuring at least a spot in the NL wild-card game when Jhoulys Chacin pitched five shutout innings to beat the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1 Wednesday night for a three-game sweep.
The Cardinals are now one game behind the Los Angeles Dodgers for the second wild card spot in the National League.
The Cardinals travel to the Cubs for the three-game set beginning Friday to wrap up the regular season.
