The bottom 3 hitters pulled it out. Once again, Thompson almost gave it away with the way he used his relief pitchers. They have a young reliever by the name of Orion Kerkering that supposedly has lights out stuff, he has only appeared in 5 games. I have no clue what they are saving him for. If Castellanos and Harper start hitting they could make things interesting. I guess their record might be a little misleading and they have been playing mostly bottom feeders, they are only 4 and 6 against teams with better than .500 records That means 21 of their 31 games have been against sub .500 teams..

Uribe throws a nice overhand punch. Too bad he isn't that accurate finding the strike zone. The Brewers have a thin pitching staff due to injuries and then this bonehead starts a fight. I imagine a suspension is coming.

I saw the replays of it. lol

I thought Uribe slapping was about as accurate as his pitching….i see suspensions were handed down by MLB. Rickie Weeks got to manage his first game today and came away with his first win.

Man! The Cubs could sure use a closer. Always drama in the 9th. 1-0 Cubs.

Good job to a lot of other teams today too. Phillies win, Reds lose, Bucks lose.... good stuff for Cubs fans.

Not many games today but the Cubs are looking win the series if they can somehow eek out a victory over the Mets. Then tomorrow they face the Brewers for three games at home. I sure wish we had our guys healthy so they could play. Bellinger and Suzuki are greatly missed bats as well as one of our ace starters Steele. They have been getting by, but sure would be nice to have a full healthy team.

The Cubs must be pretty deep to keep on winning with that many starters hurting

They have been barely edging opponents, and it'll be the same again today if they can manage to keep a lead.

Same with the cards but flip, we are in the game and only would need one good inning however can't score....

No flip today. They just been playing like crap and it finally caught up to them.

Will see how the season progresses. Good to see some teams and divisions playing well, Like Seattle, Cleveland, Orioles, Braves, Phillies, cenral division of the NL is playing well too. Dodgers are heating up and playing well now. Yankees scored 30 runs against the Brewers and not more than 2 per game against the Orioles.

The Cubs are playing .500 ball against teams with a winning record, that isn't too shabby.

Good to see the crew take the first game against the cubs. Helpful when you can shut down the other team in the later innings even when your closer is on DL. Helpful when the offense still finds a way to score when you are missing your second best bat in Yelich. Going to get tougher for the crew next couple games.

Hey maybe the cards can string some wins together...

This is like the 4th or 5th game in a row that Alzolay has pitched and blown the save, he does that on a very regular basis. I can not believe they are stupid enough to put him in in a close game but I've never been impressed with Council or his decisions.

Good to see the Brewers win. Council may be trying to help Alzolay build some confidence, aftger all it is a long season and especially so if your closing pitchers are not capable of shutting down in the late innings.

He was their closer last year if you want to call it that, but this year he's gone to crap bad. Cubs tried to give it away today but managed a one run win somehow.

Those MN Twins sure are playing good ball right now

Turner to miss 6 weeks with a hamstring injury, tough break for the Phils.

They look pretty good NL. Top of MLB right now and the Dodgers are helping them.
