Brewers' Bats Fall Silent as Cubs Roar at American Family Field

First Inning

The Milwaukee Brewers faced off against the Chicago Cubs in a game that saw the Brewers' record shift to 64-44, while the Cubs improved to 63-45.

Milwaukee's William Contreras made an impact with his consistent hitting, maintaining a .500 average from his previous performance.

Third Inning

The third inning proved pivotal for Chicago as they unleashed a four-run barrage, capitalizing on Milwaukee's pitching struggles. Easton McGee started for the Brew Crew but found himself overwhelmed by Chicago's aggressive approach at bat. His ERA of 11.25 reflected the challenges he faced against a relentless Cubs lineup.

Fifth Inning

Sixth Inning

In what could be described as one of the game-changing plays Brewers vs Cubs witnessed, Chicago extended their lead further in the sixth inning by adding three more runs. This effectively put them out of reach for Milwaukee despite efforts from players like Christian Yelich and Andrew Vaughn who tried to rally their team.

Ninth Inning
