Brewers looking to go 10 games
over 500 for the first time this
year.
The Cubs have dropped five games
in a row and now 4.5 games back
at the Brewers in the nl central
freddie Peralto, the veteran
right hander going for Milwaukee
Michman is in the leadoff spot
to a swing and a foul tip into
the mix of Contreras and that is
out.
Number one, the game starts with
a strikeout for Freddie Peralta.
He'll face Suzuki with one away.
There's a swing and a miss back
to back K's for Peralta
fastball.
Freddie hoping it up to 97 here
in the first inning.
Two gone.
And here is cody Bellinger now 3
to 2 to Bellinger.
He chased one a high fastball
around his eyes three up three
down three Ks for Freddie
Peralta Cubs have a right hander
of their own on the mound in Ben
Brown.
The word trust comes to mind
with Brown.
I love watching him pitch big
tall guy pounding that strike
zone and if he can pitch ahead
in the count, good things will
happen for Brownie, it will go
to Contreras and yell through
there.
He was looking for that curve
and it didn't come a fastball
right down the middle at 97 1
away.
And a little Tapper Morrell
charges picks it up and fires on
the move and is able to get
Contreras christian Jelic.
Now two away swing and a miss
struck him out.
Jelic is gone and Brown mows him
down out of the second.
No score in Milwaukee as we go
to the second Christopher Mll
leads it off against freddie
Peralta.
Sliders struck him out four up,
four down all on Ks.
And now it is Ian hat on the
ground on a hop.
Tang played it into an easy hop
and Ian happ is retired five in
a row for Peralta.
That's the first one that's been
put in play.
Two outs.
Here is Nico Horner in the air
to center field routine for
Perkins and six in a row for
Freddy Peralta to start his
night.
Michael Busch leads off for
Chicago Cubs offense the last 13
games, three and 10 record
scoring just 2.5 runs per game,
low batting average, low home
run total at all.
Center field.
That's well struck.
Busch puts a charge in the one
and it's gone off the ledge of
the batters eye towering fly
ball to center field and the
Cubs are on the board.
They lead it one to nothing.
Frelick leads off the bottom of
the third, a 10 Cubs lead.
That's it on the ground.
Bush is there underhand.
Brown gets over and they beat
Frelick to the bag.
Nice play.
Ben Brown looking good.
He's retired the first seven
Cubs lead 1 to 0 in there.
Brown brings up Chur two down
and Perkins coming up that is in
there.
Perkins is gone nine up nine
down for Ben Brown.
It looks great so far one Ben
Brown has been spectacular so
far for Chicago.
But second time through the
order now for the crew and
missed and now there's one away
and it's 10 up and -10 for Ben
Brown and a check swing.
Tapper Bush scco it up.
He'll take it himself and
Contreras retired two down in
the batter.
Christian swings and drives one
right field going back to near
the wall, but he's under it and
he's got it and it just missed
it.
The park held it Brown very
sharp.
No hits allowed through four.
We go to inning number five with
eight strikeouts for Freddie
Peralta.
Only Michael Bush leadoff home
run in the third.
And now, speaking of Michael
Bush come to the plate for a
second.
A B Busch, a swing and a miss
tipped it right into the glove
of Contreras.
Peralta picks up his ninth game
, Dansby Swanson Digs in two and
two and a swing and a Miss he
got him.
10 K's through the first five
innings.
Peralta has faced 17 batters has
punched out 10 of them.
Well, nothing comes Brewers
coming to bat one up, one down
for Jake Bowers.
This big 3 to 2 pitch coming
here.
Bowers got some power that pitch
low for ball.
Four.
Bowers becomes the first
baserunner of the game for
Milwaukee reaches base on a walk
with one away here in the bottom
of the fifth inning.
So Brown out of the stretch for
the first time.
Let's see if Ortiz can tap in as
Bowers takes off throw to second
, not in time.
And the running Brewers keep it
going.
Stolen base for Bowers, Joey
Ortiz with a runner at second
bouncing ball.
Big chopper over to MLL.
He's got a cannon and he keeps
Bowers at second records the
second out of the inning and
that'll leave it up to Sal
Frelick three and two.
Frelick.
Did he go?
He did not who checked his swing
draws the wall close one and now
it's 1st and 2nd, 2nd walk of
the inning and an extended
inning here for Ben Brown
Jackson Chio two up on the
ground is short.
Swanson picks it up throws to
first in time.
That's out.
Number three, the Brewers still
without a hit through five.
We head to number six two away
runner at first base for cody
Bellinger.
And will it be Peralta or will
it be kick looks as of right now
that it will be Freddie Peralta
with 99 pitches on his Ledger
and Freddy has earned this
battle with Bellinger liner back
up the middle of, well,
Bellinger wins that battle and
now 1st and 2nd with two outs,
two again runners go, he missed
it's ball four.
Let Morrell off the hook and the
bases are loaded and Pat
Murphy's got no choice right
now.
That'll do it for Freddie
Peralta and he will not get
through six innings.
He elects it with 11 strikeouts
, two walks, three hits and 11
K's and he will exit with three
runners on.
He'll get a nice hand on his way
out.
Ian Hap switches over to the
right side of the plate to face
Jared Koenig Ha hits with the
bases loaded for the Cubs and he
struck him out.
Jared Kig comes in with the base
is loaded, he strikes out and
the Cubs leave him loaded for
the bottom of the sixth.
The Cubs leading it.
Ben Brown still hasn't allowed a
hit hit hard to the ground.
Morell flags it down to his left
throws to first in time.
Nice play by Christopher.
He was shifted into the right
spot and Then made a nice
athletic play.
Here's Bryce Turang swing and a
Miss Brown gets tang two away.
The hat trick for Bryce Turang
the leadoff man for the Brewers.
Tonight has been completely shut
down by Ben Brown two down to
bases empty swing and a miss at
a high breaking ball.
Brown is through six, no hit
innings with eight strikeouts
Then Brown working on christian.
It takes a strike three just
down the outside corner with a
fastball.
98.
You can do with that just foul
it off Brown at 82 pitches and
he's been every bit as good as
the line would suggest so far.
Can the Brewers get to him
before his night is done?
Here's will Adam high fly ball.
This is trouble Bellinger back
back some more at the wall and
he makes the ground.
Oh, Bellinger a spectacular
catch from cody and it stays
one.
Nothing.
How fun is that one ball game?
No hitter on the line all the
way to the wall.
And Bellinger elevates and is
able to haul it in.
Bellinger not only preserves the
shutout but the no hitter as
well.
Now, two outs swing and a miss
and it got him seven no hit
innings for Ben Brown.
Thanks in part to Cody.
Bellinger.
Hayden Wisneski is on to relieve
Ben Brown as we go to the bottom
of the eighth one out.
Brewer still hitless.
There's a shot up the middle
with the first of the game
nonsense.
There you go.
Step one, get a base hit,
somebody get a hold of one.
Frelick on the first pitch and
the Brewers have the top of the
order coming up.
Bryce Terran will start, it will
roll to first.
Busch.
Is there out?
Number one, William zero for
three.
He's grounded out twice on the
ground.
Swanson charges takes it in
fires on the move two away.
And now christian Jelic, the
last hope for the Brewers, the
31 Jelic takes, did he go?
Did not ball four.
Jelic is aboard and the Brewers
have the T run on and the
potential winning run is come up
and the one thing Hector has to
guard against is the b here
receiving called and not coming
to a complete stop like that.
And that's in for a strike
called it and they did the ball
got it.
So a bar puts Jelic in scoring
position.
Adama that base hit.
Yeah, it Davis on his way to
second.
He is out.
The run scores, the game is
tied.
He will challenge it regardless
of the outcome.
It's a tie game.
The goal stands the Milwaukee
well, might have been one of
those.
If he was called safe, it would
have stayed that way.
Brewers lose the challenge but
Adam ties the game and sends us
into extra innings.
A mayo running at second base
and let's see if Tuchman can
immediately give the Cubs the
lead.
Luis Vasquez and that one is off
the pitcher and mcgill is hurt
and racing around and coming
home Vasquez and he's in it, hit
mcgill and Then the ball just
stopped there and everybody was
waiting to see where they should
go and a heads up baserunning
play by Vasquez Suzuki, a bloop
single good baserunning by
Tauchman.
He sensed that that ball would
be in and he guessed correctly.
Now here's Bellinger Cubs trying
to increase their lead.
Bellinger lines.
One base hit center field Suzuki
will stop at second.
It's 31 and now two are in
scored position with one out and
he had half an opportunity to
knock in two with a base hit
drilled right field going back b
back some more over his head.
Suzuki is in Bellinger on his
heels.
P is into second.
It's 51, an embarrassment of
riches all of a sudden and
Michael Bush will come up and
bat against the left hander.
Bush.
Broken bat up the middle.
It gets through around third.
He's in and the Cubs on top, it
is 61.
So now runners on the corners in
one out for Frelich, two and two
little and a bouncing ball out
to Swanson.
A run will score four free but
it is the second out and it is 6
to 2 council taking no chances.
Plays the matchup here.
Let's see if the Brewers can
rattle a newcomer into the game.
Tyson Miller back up the middle.
It hits Miller going to be a
tough play here.
Horner's throw and not in time
infield hit and an RB I and now
you get the tying run in the on
deck circle.
If you're the Brewers and Andrew
Monasterio will pinch hit for
the pitcher spot.
Here here comes the 2 to 2 ball
game Cubs win what a night for
that guy, Ben Brown sensational
seven no hit shutout innings, 10
strikeouts.
And the Cubs put an end to their
five game losing streak.
