This is scoreboard-watching season, but Cubs manager Joe Maddon insisted on Saturday morning that he did not realize the Cardinals were playing the Brewers until someone pointed it out.
Our goal is to win the division, Maddon said.
The Cubs did that in overwhelming fashion on Saturday, pounding out a 14-1 win over the Pirates that included setting the single-season club record for home runs.
Castellanos, Zobrist and Hoerner each played a key role in the Cubs latest win, which pulled the club within three games of the National League Central-leading Cardinals, who lost to the Brewers.
