The Cubs began the series finale against the Brewers on a high note Sunday afternoon, taking the lead on the first batter of the game. It was all downhill from there, however, as Milwaukee used one big inning against Kyle Hendricks to earn a blowout victory.
Nico Hoerner smacked Freddy Peralta‘s second pitch of the afternoon over the left field wall for a solo home run to put the Cubs ahead 1-0. Cody Bellinger picked up a bloop single later in the 1st inning for what would be Chicago’s last hit of the game.
