The Milwaukee Brewers, before today's game, were 2-0 up in their division series against rivals Chicago. They were looking for a road win to sweep Craig Counsell's club.

And it started out strong for the Brewers, who took advantage of some confusion on an infiled fly to bring traffic to the bases. It finally paid off when Sal Frelick hit a sacrifice fly to first.

But the Cubs certainly hadn't said their last word.

In the first, Michael Busch hit a solo home run and Pete Crow-Armstrong (yes, he got up) put a ball in the safe to add two runs to the scoreboard pretty quickly.

Brewers starter Quinn Priester didn't even finish the first inning. And before the end of the inning, the Cubs added a fourth run to make it 4-1.

The Brewers made it 4-2 later on a Jake Bauers slap, but the Brewers were unable to make it 4-3 following a play involving a bunt as well as a mousetrap.

Jake Bauers finally brought the Brewers back a little closer by scoring a third run (via a home run), but time was starting to run out for the Brewers to tie the game.

So the Cubs managed to stay alive, just like the Tigers earlier today. And tomorrow night, the Cubs will try to tie the division series to force an ultimate game, which would take place on Saturday if necessary.

  • Yankees fans booed the Canadiens anthem, although Don Mattingly was shown on screen to prevent fans from booing.
