This win brings the Cubs' season record to an even 20-14, while the Brewers fall to 20-12. Both teams showcased their competitive spirit, but it was the home team that ultimately secured the win.

The game started strong for the Cubs, scoring two runs in the first inning and adding another two in the third, demonstrating their offensive capabilities early on. The team's hitting statistics were impressive, with a total of eight hits throughout the game. Three home runs contributed significantly to their six runs scored, showcasing their power at bat.
