The Brewers had a chance to sweep the Cubs and move into a commanding position in the NL Central with a win today. However, the Cubs would not go quietly. They hit the Brewers’ pitchers hard right from the start, and it was just an overall bad day as the Brewers dropped the series finale 10-3.
It was a bad day for Freddy Peralta right from the start. On the first pitch of the game, Peralta threw a fastball right down the middle of the plate, and Michael Busch did not miss it. He hit a home run into the right field bleachers, and the Brewers were immediately behind 1-0.
