The Chicago Cubs’ hitters aren’t putting enough balls in play, and their pitchers aren’t keeping balls in play.

Jackson Chourio's hamstring seems just fine as he trots around the bases after hitting a 3-run homer to center. #Brewers 7, #Cubs 3 in the 4th.

Andrew Vaughn's home run tonight was the 49th in Brewers playoff history. It was the first to score more than two runs. (HT to @stathead.com)

Through 2 shutout innings, #Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski has thrown 37 pitches. 26 of them have been over 100 mph. #cubs

Steve Megargee @stevemegargee.bsky.social · 2d

For the 6th time in his last 8 starts, #Cubs' Shota Imanaga has allowed multiple homers. William Contreras' towering blast to left on a 1-1 pitch puts #Brewers ahead 4-3 in the 3rd inning.

Jacob Misiorowski was still on the pitcher's mound when he fielded a bouncer from #Cubs' Carson Kelly. He then runs all the way to 1st base to retire the batter for the 3rd out of 3rd inning, and then pumps his fist a few times. #brewers

Steve Megargee @stevemegargee.bsky.social · 2d

After Nick Mears came out of bullpen and thwarted the #Cubs' attempt at a two-on, two-out rally in the 2nd inning, Jacob Misiorowski is starting the 3rd for the #Brewers.

Steve Megargee @stevemegargee.bsky.social · 2d

Shota Imanaga of #Cubs entered tonight having allowed at least 2 homers in 5 of his last 7 starts. He's already allowed 1 through first 2 innings. #brewers

Steve Megargee @stevemegargee.bsky.social · 2d

We're tied. After Shota Imanaga retires first 2 batters of 2nd inning, William Contreras and Christian Yelich single to set the stage for a tying 3-run HR by Andrew Vaughn on a 3-2 pitch. #Brewers 3, #Cubs 3

The 440-foot blast by #Cubs' Seiya Suzuki is his 7th HR in his last 9 games. He had 5 homers in last 4 regular-season games and also went deep in Game 1 of NL Wild Card Series.
