William Contreras was also clutched with two key doubles, and Joey Ortiz sealed the deal in the eighth with another two run shot. This win puts the Brewers eight games ahead of the Cubs in the in-out central, with 23 games left to play. Earlier in the game, there was a pretty scary moment in the bottom of the sixth. The re-outfielders and infielders all converged on a pop-up, and it looked like a serious collision was about to happen. Thankfully, everyone stayed in the game, but it was a close call for the Brewers' defense. This game was a real back and forth affair. The Cubs jumped out to an early three run lead, putting some pressure on the Brewers. But Milwaukee Fobback, especially in that wild sixth inning, where a bulk and a defensive miscue by the Cubs helped them tie things up. When Yeo-itch stepped up to the plate in that situation, he had a chance to give his

1:00team the lead, and he delivered. That home run was his first on the road since early August, and it couldn't have come at a better time for the Brewers. With this victory, the Brewers not only bounced back from a rough loss the day before, but also extended their season series lead over the Cubs to five. Winds and three losses. They're definitely in a strong position as they head into the final stretch of the season. Baseball News, powered by AI. This is MLB News Today. I'm Corey with the story.
