Well that’s more like it. Just like Opening Day, it took some extra work to get it done, but the Brewers got their first series win of the 2021 season when they took out the rival Cubs 4-2 in 10 innings, winning the rubber match of the three-game series.

Though the end of the game was full of plenty of suspense, that was not the case for Cubs hitters through the first seven innings. That was because Milwaukee starter Brandon Woodruff had them completely baffled throughout his entire outing.
