Tuesday’s 9-3 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers marked the second straight loss for the Chicago Cubs, now placing them two games back in the NL Central behind their division rivals. In what has been arguably the most important series of the season so far, the Cubs have not answered the challenge, losing both games by a total of four runs or more.
The Cubs were able to find some individual success, as Pete-Crow Armstrong reached base twice with an RBI and Nico Hoerner went 3-for-4 at the plate with a rare home run. However, the team could only muster three runs as the Brewers continued to pile on.
