The Cubs (81-66) scored five runs in the ninth, starting with
four walks by Brandon Sproat. Abner Uribe relieved and gave up
an RBI single, a run-scoring ground out and a two-run double by
Michael Conforto to make it 8-6.
Henderson (10-3) retired the first nine before Pete
Crow-Armstrong singled to open the fourth. Crow-Armstrong
advanced on a passed ball, took third on a fly out, and scored
the unearned run on a ground out to cut the deficit to 7-1.
Henderson allowed one unearned run on two hits, striking out six
and walking one before exiting after Carson Kelly’s leadoff
single in the sixth.
Kevin Gausman (9-12) allowed seven runs, six earned, on eight
hits in four innings, including three home runs.
Yelich staked the Brewers to a 3-0 lead in the first with his
11th homer. Brice Turang reached on an infield force out and
Contreras walked. Andrew Vaughn struck out, but Yelich sent an
0-1 pitch 372 feet to left-center.
The Brewers made it 6-0 in the second on home runs by Chourio
and Contreras. Chourio’s one-out solo shot was his career-best
23rd. Turang walked and Contreras followed with his 15th homer,
and 100th of his career.
Milwaukee capitalized on errors for unearned runs in the third
and sixth.
