Cody Bellinger, who earlier extended his
hitting streak to 11 games, led off by hitting a single to
center. Jared Young then reached on a one-out infield single,
and both runners advanced one base on Yan Gomes' groundout to
second.
Then Tauchman, who fouled off four of Williams' pitches, dropped
a liner inside the left field line to tie the contest. He then
scored from second when Anderson's throw on Nico Hoerner's
grounder short-hopped first baseman Owen Miller.
Adbert Alzolay then retired the side in order in the ninth for
the Cubs, who built off Tuesday's 7-6, 11-inning win to take two
of the first three games in this four-game set.
Justin Steele's three-start winning streak ended after allowing
three runs and nine hits in six innings for Chicago, which has
won two in a row for the first time since a four-game winning
streak from June 19-24.
Willy Adames clubbed a tiebreaking homer off Steele in the sixth
inning, and Anderson added an RBI single later in the frame for
a 3-1 Milwaukee lead. Christian Yelich and Andruw Monasterio
each had two hits, and Adrian Houser allowed one run on six hits
and three walks with four strikeouts over five innings.
Seiya Suzuki had three hits for Chicago, which opened the
scoring on Ian Happ's third-inning RBI single. However,
Milwaukee answered in the bottom of the frame thanks to William
Contreras' two-out, run-scoring single to right.
Michael Rucker (2-1) got the win for Chicago.
Chicago All-Star shortstop Dansby Swanson, who grounded into two
double plays on the night, exited prior to the bottom of the
seventh due to a left heel contusion.
