Walk this way: Too many free passes allow Brewers to waltz out of Wrigley Field with 9-5 victory over Cubs, writes JDietzSports.
The Milwaukee Brewers blew open a close game with a 5-run sixth inning and claimed a 9-5 victory over the Cubs at Wrigley Field on Sunday. The Cubs had a 2-1 lead after two innings on the strength of Dansby Swanson's RBI single in the first and a solo homer by Patrick Wisdom in the second.
The floodgates opened when Jesse Winker lined a 2-RBI single into the outfield, and Willy Adames followed with an RBI single. The Cubs tried to make it interesting by loading the bases with nobody out in the eighth, and it appeared for a moment that Yan Gomes had belted a grand slam to right field. But the towering fly ball was snared at the wall and resulted in a mere sacrifice fly. That only cut the Brewers' lead to 9-4, and although the Cubs added another run on Cody Bellinger's RBI groundout, they did no further damage.
Wisdom added a second HR in the seventh inning. He now has six multi-HR games in his career, with the last one coming June 30, 2022 in a 15-7 win over the Reds.
