The Cubs lost to the Brewers 4-0 Sunday afternoon, but that’s not the story of the game.
The story is the hamstring injury suffered by Shu014dta Imanaga, who had matched Freddy Peralta with zeroes until there were two out in the bottom of the sixth.
Here’s the situation. The Brewers had runners on first and second with one out. Christian Yelich was at the plate.
