Brewers give up lead late, fall to Cubs

After sweeping Monday’s doubleheader against the Cubs, the Brewers failed to extend their winning streak past three, losing 8-7 behind an eighth-inning homer from Patrick Wisdom and some poor defense by the Brewers.

The game went back and forth for much of the night, as neither team lead by more than three runs the entire night. The Cubs struck first with another home run by Willson Contreras in the bottom of the first, but the Brewers found an answer in the top of the third.

Tyrone Taylor came up to the plate with the bases loaded, mashing a double down the right-field line and scoring all three runners for a 3-1 lead.
