Milwaukee has become a place of nightmares recently for the Chicago Cubs, going back to late last year when the Brewers went on their surge. The Cubs are now 1-3 at Miller Park this year and overall 19-30 away from Wrigley Field. We will get back to that later. Last night specifically was particularly bad.
In a crucial part of the 2019 season, which began a nine-game streak of playing the Brewers and Cardinals in this tight NL Central, the Cubs fell apart late yet again. A 2-0 lead thanks to a David Bote homer would be officially lost in the eighth inning when Brandon Kintzler and Pedro Strop could not hold on.
