The Chicago Cubs became the first second NL team to clinch a playoff spot with a 6-0 win in Cincinnati combined with a 6-3 loss by the Brewers at home to San Diego.

The Cubs will now attempt to win a World Series for the first time since the owner of the pictured arm pitched for them.

Note: Arizona actually clinched a playoff spot a few minutes earlier with their win in Colorado.
