Summary
Jordan Wicks recorded his first save after entering the 10th with no outs and the bases loaded, then preserving Chicago’s 4-3 win in Milwaukee.
Seiya Suzuki created the cushion with a two-run single in the top of the 10th after Pete Crow-Armstrong stole second and Alex Bregman was hit by a pitch to load the bases.
Bryse Wilson steadied the Cubs’ bullpen game with 4.1 scoreless innings in his team debut after Gary Sanchez’s second-inning homer gave Milwaukee a 1-0 lead.
Ian Happ scored the tying run on Aaron Ashby’s seventh-inning wild pitch, and Jacob Webb stranded the potential winner at second in the ninth to force extras.
The series-clinching win pushed Chicago to 12-4 in its last 16 games and within 5.5 games of first place in the NL Central.
