Joel Payamps worked around a lead-off single by
Trey Mancini in the ninth inning to record his third save for
the Brewers, who avoided a third straight defeat to split this
four-game set.
Milwaukee entered the fifth with a 1-0 deficit before it finally
got to Cubs All-Star Marcus Stroman for all four runs he
allowed. Joey Wiemer tied the game with a two-out RBI single to
left field, then Christian Yelich barely got the ball over the
left-field wall with two men on for his 11th homer that gave the
Brewers a 4-1 lead.
Chicago's Cody Bellinger, who had four hits to extend his
hitting streak to 12 games, cranked a two-run homer in sixth off
Freddy Peralta. However, Yelich drew a walk in the seventh,
stole second and went to third on catcher Gomes' throwing error
before scoring via Willy Adames' fly ball to left to give the
Brewers a 5-3 lead.
Gomes' two-run homer in the eighth inning leveled things for the
Cubs, who have lost eight of their last 11 games.
Stroman, who also yielded four hits and four walks while fanning
six in five innings, has given up 12 earned runs over 14 innings
in losing three straight starts.
Peralta, meanwhile, allowed three runs, four hits and three
walks while matching a season high with 10 strikeouts in 5 1/3
innings for the Brewers.
Chicago opened the scoring in all four games of the set. It did
so in the second inning Thursday through back-to-back doubles
from Christopher Morel and Bellinger.
