After a rough loss to the Royals yesterday, the Brewers rebounded well today. They pulled ahead of the Cubs early and held onto the lead, defeating the Cubs 5-3 on Sunday afternoon.
The Brewers got their scoring going in the second inning. Back to back solo home runs from Luke Voit and Brice Turang put the Brewers ahead 2-0. Skye Bolt and Blake Perkins then singled to put two runners on base, and Christian Yelich got Bolt to third with a groundout that erased Perkins. Then, Yelich attempted to steal second but was caught. However, he remained in a run down long enough to allow Bolt to score from third, and the Brewers ended the inning with a 3-0 lead.
