MILWAUKEE (AP) --- Seiya Suzuki singled in two runs to key a three-run 10th
inning and Jordan Wicks, called up earlier Sunday, got a game-ending double
play with the bases loaded to preserve the Chicago Cubs 4-3 victory over the
Milwaukee Brewers in the decider of the three-game series.
Joel Kuhnel (1-3) relieved to open the 10th. Automatic runner Justin Dean
advanced to third on a ground out. Pete Crow-Armstrong was walked intentionally
with two outs and stole second. Alex Bregman was hit by a pitch to load the
bases. Michael Busch walked to force in the go-ahead run and Suzuki followed
with a two-run single to left.
Ethan Roberts relieved in the bottom half and Christian Yelich opened with an
RBI single, taking second on the throw home. Jackson Chourio walked and Brice
Turang singled to load the bases with no outs.
Wicks, called up earlier Sunday from Triple-A, relieved and walked pinch-hitter
Garrett Mitchell to make it 4-3. Jake Bauers flied out in foul territory, and
Gary Sanchez bounced to third to start the double play.
Jacob Webb (3-2) got the win with a scoreless ninth. Wicks notched his first
save of the season.
Stymied into the sixth by starter Brandon Woodruff, the Cubs tied it 1-all in
the seventh with a run off Aaron Ashby. Ian Happ walked with one out and
advanced to third on Nico Hoerner's single. Happ scored on a wild pitch, with
Hoerner taking second. Hoerner moved to third on a balk and pinch-hitter Matt
Shaw walked, but Abner Uribe relieved and retired the next two hitters.
Sanchez staked the Brewers to a 1-0 lead with his eighth homer, a two-out solo
shot in the second off Ryan Rolison, opening a bullpen game with his second
start in 26 appearances.
