After losing four in a row at home, the Cubs were looking for redemption against the Brewers, who capitalized on every Cubs mistake early. After falling behind 5-0 in the game, it seemed that the hangover would not end. But lo and behold, it did!
Brett Anderson took the mound for the Cubs and struggled in the 1st, giving up three runs on four hits. Eric Thames has been a nightmare for the Cubs in this series — and pretty much for every team so far — and his first double extended his hitting streak to 12 games.
