Brewers Snatch Victory at Wrigley!
What a day for us Brewers fans!
Last night, our Milwaukee Brewers soared over the Chicago Cubs in a thrilling 3-1 victory at Wrigley Field. It was a tense battle, but our boys pulled through with flying colors in the later innings. Pitchers' Duel Keeps Everyone on Their Toes
The game started off as a pitcher’s duel, with both teams locked at 0-0 for the first 5 innings. Our Brewers had some opportunities but couldn’t capitalize early on. Tyler Black showed off his speed with a walk and a stolen base in the 1st inning, but we just couldn’t get him home. Meanwhile, the Cubs couldn’t handle the heat our pitchers were throwing, with the exception of a solo homer by Christopher Morel in the 6th that broke the deadlock.Brewers Break Through in the 8th
The real action came in the top of the 8th inning, when momentum finally swung our way. After a quiet start, our bats woke up to tie and then take the lead! Jackson Chourio came in for Sal Frelick and immediately made an impact with an infield single to second and then stole second base.
Then, William Contreras stepped up with a single to left, driving Chourio home to tie the game. But why stop there? Willy Adames then singled to center, bringing Contreras in for a 2-1 lead. Not satisfied with just that, Jake Bauers singled to center, allowing Adames to score and stretching our lead to 3-1. What a rollercoaster of an inning!
Brewers Pitching Shuts It Down
Our pitchers truly outdid themselves, keeping Cubs hitters at bay in the crucial moments. The game ended with Trevor Megill sealing the deal, proving once again why our bullpen is not to be trifed with. Morel, Michael Busch, and Dansby Swanson were sent back to the dugout in quick succession, securing our well-earned victory.Reflections
Last night’s win was a testament to our team's resilience and fighting spirit.
Adjustments in the 8th turned the tide and showcased our depth and versatility. Major shoutouts to Chourio and Contreras for those crucial RBIs and to the bullpen for shutting down any hope for the Cubs. Let’s take this energy into the next game and keep the wins rolling! Go, Brewers!
