Although the Brewers had some thrilling innings, their base-by-base approach fell short to several crucial Cubs’ home runs in a 5-3 loss.
In a hectic start to the game, the teams battled back and forth as both starters had to handle plenty of traffic. The start of the game certainly dimmed the energy in the stadium as the Cubs led off with a single from Nico Hoerner and a home run from Michael Busch on the first two pitches of the game. After Tobias Myers’ dominant month, it was a stark reminder that games against even the fifth-place Cubs could still create struggles throughout the season.
