The Cubs faced a big challenge on Sunday against Brewers ace Brandon Woodruff in the rubber match of the series, but they were not up to the task. Not even another stellar effort from Chicago’s former — and maybe current — ace Jake Arrieta was enough to earn a win.
Arrieta loaded the bases with none out in the 1st inning, then Travis Shaw drew a walk to force in a run and give the Crew a lead. The former Cy Young winner went on to retire the next 15 batters he faced to keep it 1-0.
