Milwaukee Brewers defeat Chicago Cubs 9-5 at Wrigley Field

The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Chicago Cubs 9-5 at Wrigley Field, extending their lead in the NL Central. Jackson Chourio led the Brewers' offense with four hits, including his 21st home run of the season.

Despite the victory, Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski struggled, allowing five runs and five hits in four innings. This performance marked a rare setback for the Cy Young frontrunner, who entered the game with a 1.73 ERA. Following the game, former Cy Young winner Jake Peavy suggested the team consider resting Misiorowski to prevent over-usage.

The Cubs, led by Alex Bregman's four RBIs, were unable to capitalize on Misiorowski's shaky start to secure a win. The series concluded with the Brewers maintaining a significant advantage in the division race.
