The Cubs dropped another one-run decision to the Brewers on Wednesday afternoon. The culprit, as it so often has been this season, was a stagnant lineup that squeezed out just two early runs and put the bullpen under enough pressure to crack late.
Milwaukee got to Justin Steele in the top of the 1st inning with a run-scoring single by Jackson Chourio, but the lefty was able to strand the bases loaded and prevent further damage. The home team responded against 2016 Cubs legend Rob Zastryzny in the bottom of the frame with a seeing-eye RBI single by Ian Happ that tied the score.
