Christian Yelich and Joey Ortiz homer as the Brewers beat the Cubs 9-4
Chicago Cubs suffered a 9-4 defeat at the hands of the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night, with Christian Yelich and Joey Ortiz contributing two home runs each. Milwaukee's four-run sixth inning proved decisive, as Yelich's two-run homer sealed the win. The Brewers used a 13-hit attack to regain their eight-game NL Central lead over Chicago, following a 17-3 loss in the opener of the four-game series.
Top performers for Milwaukee included Jackson Chourio, Brice Turang, and William Contreras, who went 6 for 14 and scored four times. Chicago managed only three singles and three doubles on a hot night at Wrigley Field. Tyrone Taylor and BJ Murray Jr. played key roles, with Murray Jr. making his first major league hit. Chicago took an early lead in the fourth, with Taylor driving in two runs and Vaughn providing a crucial defensive play.
Antonio Senzatela pitched a solid inning for Milwaukee before Yelich and Ortiz secured the victory in the eighth inning.
