The Cubs returned home to Wrigley Friday afternoon to begin a series with the first-place Brewers. Chicago received another quality starting pitching performance, but it was wasted once again by an unreliable bullpen and a total lack of hitting as Milwaukee manufactured three late runs to pick up a victory.
Hayden Wesneski was excellent from the first frame Friday, completely shutting down the Brewers into the 7th inning. The Cubs went ahead in the 6th when Christopher Morel crushed a long solo shot to center off of Joe Ross.
Hit the road ball!
