The simCubs dropped the first game of the weekend set 5-4 to the simBrewers as Jedd Gyorko jacked one out of Miller Park off of Kyle Ryan and the Cubs were unable to score enough to overcome it. Willson Contreras was thrown out at third on a play that should have gone the other way, an that turned out to be pivotal. Nico Hoerner was again clutch, driving in the go-ahead (at that time) run as a pinch-hitter.
That caused a bit of a bullpen shakeup and Ryan and Dillon Maples are on their way to Iowa.
