Cubs Swept by Brewers in Crushing Finish | Chicago Cubs News

The Cubs got swept by the Brewers in a brutal finale, losing 8-6 and falling a game and a half behind the wild card race. Kevin Gausman unraveled early, surrendering three homers—including a crushing first-inning shot—and exited after just four innings, calling his changeups “lazy.” Manager Craig Counsell was furious over sloppy errors that cost runs, a rarity for this disciplined team. Despite their knack for comeback wins, the offense showed grit in the ninth, scoring five on walks to nearly steal a miracle win. With Milwaukee now locked into the NL Central and no more matchups this year, the Cubs have a day off before facing the Pirates—another chance to claw back, but time is running out.
