Free Passes Lead to W for Cubs – Cubs 7, Brewers 2

Game Twenty-One – Cubs 7, Brewers 2

WP – Jake Arrieta (5-0) LP – Taylor Jungmann (0-4) Save – None

Ben Zobrist drove in two and David Ross homered onto Waveland. Anthony Rizzo doubled in a run and the offense worked a season-high 11 walks. Jake Arrieta was effective in his five innings as the Cubs completed the two-game sweep over the Brewers in what turned out to be a sloppy afternoon at Wrigley Field.

Thursday’s game was incredibly long due to the Cubs taking a season-high 11 walks and forcing Brewers’ pitchers to make 199 pitches.
