Chicago Cubs Score and Recap (9/8/19): Brewers 8, Cubs 5 – Lester Pounded as Cubs Drop Key Series

The bad vibes of the last two Cubs losses carried over into Sunday as the Brewers again rallied from a deficit to pick up a series win. The sense of concern for Chicago is growing rapidly as their playoff position slips.

Jon Lester allowed an infield single and two walks to load the bases with nobody out in the 1st, but Ryan Braun hit into a double play and Milwaukee only scored a run in the inning. The Cubs surged back into the lead after Addison Russell was hit in the face by a pitch in the 3rd and remained in the game.
