Pat Murphy said he was sure Brandon Lockridge was going to get the bunt down, calling him the team’s best bunter, but also wanted Caleb Durbin to keep going and try to force a play at the plate.

Final: Cubs 4, Brewers 3

The opportunities for a sweep were ample, but a blow-up first inning for Quinn Priester and a bases loaded, no runs opportunity in the eighth prove particularly costly.

Series: Brewers 2, Cubs 1

The Brewers leave them loaded in the eighth. A couple of walks by Contreras and Durbin bring Jake Bauers up and he strikes out against Brad Keller.

Oh man, that's just a no-chance at-bat from Turang against Thielbar. The best chance might have been a bunt?

Holy smokes, that was nearly a spectacular play by PCA in center field, then nearly an out at second as Jackson Chourio was hobbled.

But it's a leadoff double down a run in the 8th. It's tightening at Wrigley.

Extremely bizarre stat:

Jake Bauers, in nine at-bats, has as many playoff home runs with the Brewers as the franchise's all-time home run leader, Ryan Braun, has in 106.

The Cubs were all over that safety squeeze attempt from Brandon Lockridge. Michael Busch's first steps as the pitch was thrown were toward the plate.

Jake Bauers, professional at-bat haver, delivers a RBI single to make it 4-2 in the fourth.

Murph Guy is a specific subset of guys Murph loves. Yelich is not a Murph Guy but he's probably his favorite player. Hope that makes sense.

He's done it but the Brewers have usually tried to get five days rest as much as possible. That could go out the window for the playoffs but Peralta was excellent on 5 days rest.
