Pinch-hitter Scooter Gennett had other ideas.Gennett hit a tiebreaking, two-run double in the seventh inning, and the Milwaukee Brewers spoiled the Chicago Cubs first opportunity to clinch the NL Central title with a 5-4 victory Thursday night.Chicago (93-53) was hoping to begin a 10-game homestand with a boozy celebration of its first division title since 2008. But Keon Broxton homered and Orlando Arcia drove in two runs for Milwaukee, making the Cubs wait for the result of St. Louis game at San Francisco to find out if their season-long dominance of the Central was complete.The crowd of 41,362 cheered loudly when Hunter Pences two-run homer in the first inning against the Cardinals was shown on the video board in left field.Jorge Soler hit a two-run homer for the Cubs, who had won three of four. Mike Montgomery pitched six solid innings and helped himself with a tying single in the fourth for his first career hit.Justin Grimm (1-1) replaced Montgomery in the seventh and the Brewers put runners on first and third with one out. Gennett, batting for Jimmy Nelson (8-14), blooped an 0-2 pitch into the corner in left for a 5-3 Milwaukee lead.The Cubs got one back on Jason Heywards RBI double in the eighth, but Tyler Thornburg threw a called third strike past pinch-hitter Willson Contreras with runners at the corners to end the inning.Thornburg also worked the ninth for his 10th save in 15 chances.Nelson won for only the second time in his last 11 starts as Milwaukee (66-81) improved to 4-4 on an 11-game trip. The right-hander allowed eight hits, struck out seven and walked two.Even with the loss, its only a matter of time before Chicago clinches the division. But the NL Central crown is not how this group of Cubs will be judged, not this year. After running roughshod over the rest of the majors for most of the season, Anthony Rizzo and Co. are trying to end the franchises famous championship drought, going all the way back to when the Cubs beat the Tigers in the 1908 World Series.Weve got a lot ahead of us. We really do, president of baseball operations Theo Epstein said before the loss. It kind of all boils down to how you perform in October.TRAINERS ROOMBrewers: RHP Michael Blazek (right forearm strain) threw a simulated game. Manager Craig Counsell would like to get Blazek into some games before the end of the season, but he said theres no rush. The goal with Mike is just to go into the offseason healthy, Counsell said.Cubs: RHP Pedro Strop, who tweaked his right groin while working his way back from arthroscopic left knee surgery, threw a bullpen session and said it went well. Hes getting close, manager Joe Maddon said. Its not far off.UP NEXTCubs RHP John Lackey (9-8, 3.35 ERA) is scheduled to face RHP Chase Anderson (8-11, 4.53 ERA) in the second game of the four-game set on Friday afternoon.---Follow Jay Cohen at http://www.twitter.com/jcohenap wholesale nfl jerseys . Jeff Green scored 13 points and Kris Humphries 12 for the Celtics, who nearly blew an 18-point, second-half lead. Sullingers 20-20 was the first by a Celtics player since Kevin Garnetts first game in Boston in 2007. Garnett was dealt -- along with Paul Pierce -- to Brooklyn during the off-season. china jerseys authentic . But by the time the game started, the Toronto Raptors forward felt even worse. And, for three quarters, it showed as Gay shot a woeful three-for-13 from the field. http://www.chinajerseyscheapwholesale.com/ . The 26-year-old Ireland striker, who has four goals this season, has signed a three-and-a-half year contract with his new club. BOSTON -- Anton Khudobin became the latest Boston Bruins goaltender to get injured Monday.Khudobin skated over to the Bruins bench at Warrior Ice Arena just before practice and had his right arm or wrist attended to by the training staff. The goaltender then left the ice and didnt return.On Tuesday Bruins GM Don Sweeney announced Khudobin has an upper body injury and is expected to miss approximately three weeks.Sweeney also announced that the team has recalled goaltender Zane McIntyre from the Providence Bruins on an emergency basis and assigned defenseman Rob OGara to Providence.The Bruins already were without Tuukka Rask, who has been out since Oct. 20?because of an undisclosed injury suffered in a game against the New Jersey Devils.?Heading into their home game against the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday, the Bruins (3-2-0) didnt know who would be their starting goaltender.This is hockey, Bruins coach Claude Julien said. We deal on a day-to-day basis with injuries. You wait for the news and you go about doing your job as its required. If we have to make some adjustments and we have to have different personnel, well deal with it when we have more of an update. But right now I have nothing.Julien said Rask is still day-to-day.Malcolm Subban, the Bruins first-round pick (24th overall) in 2012, was recalled from Providence of the American Hockey League on Monday to fill in for Rask.Subban, the younger brother of Nashville Predators All-Star defenseman P.K. Subban, then became the lone goaltender for the hour-llong practice. china jerseys wholesale. Rask started the Bruins season opener Oct. 13. He then missed the next game two nights later because of injury, but he was able to dress as Khudobins backup. Rask returned to play the following two games, but he hasnt skated since he beat the Devils 2-1 on Oct. 20. Rask is 3-0-0 with a .947 save percentage and 1.67 goals-against average.Khudobin is 0-2-0 with a .849 save percentage and 4.10 GAA.Subbans emergency call-up couldnt have come at a worse time for the 22-year-old. In four games for Providence, he has a .846 save percentage and 4.50 GAA and he has been pulled twice. He allowed four goals on 34 shots in an overtime loss to Albany on Sunday.Obviously not the way you want to start the season, Subban said. To be honest, last game I felt a lot better. ... I feel like Im battling. Its not the first time Ive faced adversity, its not going to be the last. I dont feel too down on myself right now, to be honest.Subbans only previous NHL experience was a start to forget on Feb. 20, 2015, on the road against the St. Louis Blues.He was pulled one minute into the second period after allowing three goals on six shots.With the Bruins needing to bounce back from their 4-2 loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday, Subban might get another chance.If I get the call, Ill be ready to go, Subban said.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
