Jacob Webb blows third consecutive save for the Chicago Cubs

Jacob Webb surrendered a game-tying home run to Jackson Chourio with two outs in the ninth inning Tuesday, leading to an extra-innings loss for the Chicago Cubs against the Milwaukee Brewers. The relief appearance marked Webb's third straight blown save opportunity during a difficult stretch for the Chicago bullpen. Webb attributed the failure to poor location and acknowledged his frustration with the recent performance. Chicago currently holds a 4.00 team ERA, which has risen to 4.22 since the beginning of August. Manager Craig Counsell continues to navigate uncertainty in late-game relief roles as the team falls further behind the Milwaukee Brewers in the standings. The Chicago Cubs have struggled to stabilize late-inning leads throughout the current season.
