Cubs offense goes silent again, leaving Brewers in first place

MILWAUKEE -- It's time to play another round of "what exactly is going on with the Chicago Cubs' offense?"

The question has popped up again as they were shut out by the Milwaukee Brewers for the second straight game on Wednesday, 1-0, losing the series, and falling 1.5 games behind Milwaukee for the Central Division lead. The Cubs left nine men on base and were shut down by Jhoulys Chacin one day after Chase Anderson did the same.

"Their guy was really good at keeping us off balance," manager Joe Maddon said.
