For the fourth time in this series, the game between the Brewers and Cubs was decided with an eighth-inning or later lead change. This time, it went in the Brewers favor, thanks to Victor Caratini.
The Cubs struck first today with back-to-back doubles to start the second, scoring a run to put the Cubs ahead 1-0. After that, both offenses were kept in check until the fifth inning. Raimel Tapia singled and Victor Caratini walked to put two runners on base. Joey Wiemer brought in Tapia with a single, and then Christian Yelich gave the Brewers a lead with a three-run home run to left field.
