It is sad to report that the Milwaukee Brewers lost to the Chicago Cubs on Sunday. The Brewers did not have it as Brad Boxberger blew up, and they lost 6-4 with the Cubs scoring five in the eighth to win it. This breaks a streak of the Brewers beating the Cubs eleven straight times this season. They have dominated Chicago from start to finish this season. I get the Cubs aren’t very good, but the level of dominance that the Brewers showed Chicago looked like a big-league team playing a minor league squad.

From Saturday night’s broadcast before the Brewers notched another win thanks to Manny Pina…

From the Brewers postgame notes:

Milwaukee improved to 15-3 against the Cubs in this year…..it is the second time in franchise history the Brewers have won 15 games against a single opponent in the same season…..the 2019 Brewers went 15-4 vs. the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Milwaukee ties their record of dominance as they fell yesterday so they’re similar here with the 2019 squad who beat up on Pittsburgh. Milwaukee only faced Chicago seven times after they blew everything up too. They went 6-1 in those games, but a majority of these were played when the team had Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo, and Javier Baez. In fact, the Brewers would likely be credited with breaking up the Cubs when they swept them in late June with a huge 15-7 victory where they came back from being down 7-0 in the first two innings.

Milwaukee has two series left against St. Louis before the division is wrapped up. St. Louis is playing very good baseball, but they’re playing against some of the sisters of the poor lately besides San Diego this weekend. Although, their pitching staff is awful. Brewers need to win two, and the division is there.

Big night for those who have multiple screens in their house.
