Michael Tauchman singled in the go-ahead run to ignite a five-run
10th inning as the visiting Chicago Cubs snapped a five-game losing
streak with a 6-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night.
Tauchman opened the 10th with a scorching liner that hit pitcher Trevor
Megill (0-1), who relieved to start the inning. Megill was unable to
field the carom, allowing pinch runner Luis Vazquez to score from
second. |

Hoby Milner came on for the injured Megill and
Seiya Suzuki blooped a single, sending Tauchman to third. Cody
Bellinger followed with an RBI single to center to make it 3-1.
Nick Madrigal sacrificed the runners ahead and Ian Happ
delivered a two-run double to right. Michael Busch added an RBI
single.
The Brewers answered with two runs in the bottom half on Sal
Frelick's RBI groundout and an RBI single by Owen Miller.
Milwaukee, held to one hit through 8 2/3 innings, tied it 1-1 on
Willy Adames' two-out RBI single in the ninth inning off Hector
Neris (5-0). Christian Yelich walked with two outs and advanced
on a balk. Yelich scored before Adames was thrown out at second
trying for a double.
Cubs rookie Ben Brown tossed seven hitless innings, allowing
just two fifth-inning walks, before being lifted after 93
pitches. The 24-year-old right-hander struck out a career-high
10.
Frelick broke up the Cubs' no-hit bid with a one-out single off
Hayden Wesneski in the eighth.
The Cubs loaded the bases in the top of the ninth on three walks
by Elvis Peguero but failed to score when Miguel Amaya struck
out to end the inning.
Busch staked the Cubs to a 1-0 lead against starter Freddy
Peralta, opening the third inning with his eighth homer. Peralta
allowed one run on three hits in 5 2/3 innings. He struck out 11
and walked two in a 111-pitch outing.
