Wednesday game report: Brewers at Cubs

u25a0 Brewers general manager Doug Melvinand bench coach Jerry Narron both had ties to Yogi Berra, who died Wednesday at age 90. Melvin's first front office job was as the "eye in the sky" for the Yankees in 1979 when Berra coached there. Melvin would talk from the stands to Berra in the dugout via walkie talkie and thought there was interference on the line until he realized it was Berra spitting tobacco juice. When the Yankees came to Milwaukee to play the Brewers, Melvin and Berra would meet for breakfast at 6:30 a.
