Cubs Fall to Brewers in Heartbreaker | Chicago Cubs News

The Cubs took a brutal 9-5 loss to the Brewers, derailed by shaky pitching and defensive lapses. Misiorowski, a Cy Young candidate, surrendered five earned runs in four innings, while Cubs starter Peterson gave up six in under four. Despite Bregman’s heroics with a homer and go-ahead single, and Nico Hoerner’s dazzling diving catch, the bullpen crumbled—Palencia leaked a run, and closer Jacob Webb exited after taking a hard line drive to the forearm. Now nine games behind, the Cubs’ playoff hopes dim as they lose two straight and watch Milwaukee pull away. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
