Chicago Cubs Score and Recap (6/29/24): Cubs 5, Brewers 3 – Cubs Wake Up, Beat Brewers Late

The Cubs had another very sloppy performance against the Brewers early on Saturday afternoon at American Family Field. Unlike Friday, however, Chicago was able to tighten things up, take a late lead, and survive the traditional 9th inning scare to earn a victory.

The Cubs jumped on the first two pitches Milwaukee starter Tobias Myers threw Saturday. Nico Hoerner singled followed by a two-run homer by Michael Busch, which put the road team ahead 2-0 in the 1st.

Justin Steele pitched well to start the game, before more questionable defense by the Cubs led to big issues in the 3rd.
