First Inning

As the Chicago Cubs prepare to face off against the Milwaukee Brewers at Wrigley Field, fans are eager to see if the Cubbies can capitalize on their recent performances. The Cubs have shown flashes of brilliance, particularly in their June 10th game against the Philadelphia Phillies, where they secured an impressive 8-4 victory. This game highlighted their offensive prowess with 13 hits and four home runs, showcasing a lineup capable of explosive innings.

In this upcoming matchup against the Brew Crew, expect the Cubs to start strong in the first inning. Their ability to get on base early and often will be crucial. With an average of .333 from that standout game against Philadelphia, they need to replicate this form right out of the gate. Look for key players like Cody Bellinger and Dansby Swanson to set the tone with aggressive batting.

Middle Innings

The middle innings will be pivotal for both teams as they look to establish control over the game's tempo. The Cubs' pitching staff has had its ups and downs recently; however, their bullpen showed resilience during tight situations in previous games. On June 9th's extra-inning thriller against Philadelphia, despite losing 4-3 in eleven innings, Chicago's bullpen managed a commendable performance under pressure.

For this clash at Wrigley Field, maintaining composure during these middle frames is essential for CHC pitchers. They must focus on minimizing walks and keeping Milwaukee’s hitters off balance with strategic pitch selections. Meanwhile, offensively speaking – patience at bat could pay dividends as it did when drawing five walks during that June 10th win over PHI.

Late Innings

As we approach those critical late-game moments where matches are won or lost – all eyes will be on how well each team handles high-pressure scenarios under lights around sunset time (8:05 PM EDT). Historically speaking - closing out games hasn’t always been easy sailing but given recent improvements seen within certain areas such as fielding efficiency (zero errors committed across last two encounters), there’s reason enough why optimism should prevail amongst supporters cheering from stands come crunch-time plays!
