Cubs Eliminated in Low-Scoring NLDS Game 5 Against Brewers

That’s a wrap, folks. The Chicago Cubs have officially been eliminated from postseason contention. After falling into a 0-2 series hole to the Milwaukee Brewers, they battled back and sent the series back to American Family Field for a winner-take-all Game 5.

After Drew Pomeranz allowed a home run in the bottom of the first inning, Seiya Suzuki immediately struck back and tied the game with a solo blast of his own.

TIE GAME!

The Cubs threatened in the sixth inning, but were unable to score any runs after Suzuki’s blast.
