After a marathon 13-inning win on Wednesday night, the Cubs looked to take the rubber match against the Brewers Thursday afternoon. Yet again for the Cubs, an unheralded Brewers starter kept them off balance most of the game. Two struggling Cubs outfielders could not cash in on late chances for go-ahead runs and Milwaukee won the series.
