The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Chicago Cubs 9-5 on Wednesday night at Wrigley Field. Despite allowing five earned runs in four innings, starting pitcher Jacob Misiorowski avoided a loss as the Brewers offense erased a two-run deficit. The bullpen anchored the result, with JoJo Romero, Antonio Senzatela, Abner Uribe, Aaron Ashby, and Trevor Megill combining to allow only two baserunners over the final five innings. Milwaukee ranks among the lowest in home runs this season, raising questions regarding their offensive sustainability for the upcoming postseason. The result suggests the team can maintain performance even when the starting rotation faces early-game struggles against high-scoring opponents. Milwaukee continues its regular season schedule as it prepares for October play.
