The Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs played a tight game at Wrigley Field this evening, a game in which the Brewers got ahead early and had plenty of opportunities to score. But the Cubs got the big hits that eluded Milwaukee, as a three-run homer from Seiya Suzuki off of Brewers starter Chad Patrick flipped the scoreboard and ultimately decided the game.
The Brewers got a two-out runner in scoring position in the top of the first when William Contreras doubled into the left field corner, but Cubs starter Ben Brown was able to strike out Christian Yelich to end the inning.
