Bullpen solid, but Bryant's miscue costs Cubs

MILWAUKEE -- If he could do it over again, Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant would've held on to the ball hit by Brewers pinch-hitter Hernan Perez in the ninth inning. But Bryant's error led to the game-winning run in the Brewers' 5-4 victory Friday night at Miller Park over the Cubs.

It was one of only a few mistakes in a game in which the Cubs had opportunities. With the score tied at 4 and one out in the Brewers' ninth against Mike Montgomery, Manny Pina walked and reached third after an infield single by pinch-hitter Perez and the miscue by Bryant, whose throw sailed past first baseman Victor Caratini.
