Left fielder Ian Happ threw out two runners at the plate in extra innings, and the Chicago Cubs pulled out a wild 7-6 win over the Milwaukee Brewers in 11 innings Tuesday after squandering a late lead for the second consecutive game.
"We needed a win. The momentum of that one made it a big win," Happ said. "Two do-or-die kind of plays there. The first one, the game’s over if you don’t make the play. The second one, there’s no risk. Two accurate throws, which is the most important part."
"Credit to him. He made a good throw. The inning before that, too," Miller said. "You want to be an aggressive baserunning team and make the guys throw you out." Ross was perturbed that Bacchus wrung up Swanson when there were only two strikes and he felt that a Brewers baserunner had interfered with a throw earlier in the game.
The loss dropped Milwaukee a game behind first-place Cincinnati in the NL Central, after the Reds beat the Nationals 8-4 earlier in the day. The Brewers, who fell behind 6-0 to the Cubs on Monday before rallying late for an 8-6 win, struggled to get their offense going against Hendricks, who retired the first 10 batters he faced before walking Jesse Winker in the fourth. Hendricks didn’t give up a hit until Miller reached on a dribbler down the third-base line with one out in the fifth.
