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.
