Brewers sweep the Cubs with an 8-6 win in Milwaukee

The Milwaukee Brewers completed a three-game series sweep of the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday, securing an 8-6 victory at home. Christian Yelich and Jackson Chourio hit home runs to help build an early lead against Cubs starter Kevin Gausman, who surrendered multiple runs over four innings. While the Cubs rallied for five runs in the ninth inning behind walks and a Michael Conforto double, the comeback attempt fell short. Chicago has now lost four consecutive games, complicating their position in the postseason race. The loss marked the 221st home run surrendered by Cubs pitching this season, the most for the franchise through 147 games.
