Cubs 4, Brewers 3: The Ian Happ game
Here’s how many times I was absolutely certain the Cubs would lose Friday night’s game:
When they didn’t get any hits for the first six innings
When the Brewers tied the game in the ninth and had the winning run in scoring position with one out
When the Brewers had the tying and winning runs in scoring position in the 10th inning with one out
But, amazingly enough, none of those things prevented the Cubs from a fascinating 4-3 win over the Brewers, and most of it was thanks to Ian Happ. Happ produced the Cubs’ only two hits of the game — both two-run homers, and that was enough for the win.
