Cubs walk off Brewers in extras thriller

The Chicago Cubs clinched the series against the Milwaukee Brewers with a thrilling 4-3 victory in extra innings on Sunday. The Cubs scored three crucial runs in the top of the 10th inning to secure the win.

Jacob Webb (3-2) was credited with the win for the Cubs, who have been on a strong run, winning six of their last seven games. Ryan Rolison pitched two innings as the opener, allowing one run.

Milwaukee's starting pitcher, Brandon Woodruff, showed promising form in just his second start since recovering from shoulder inflammation, striking out six batters over 5 2/3 innings. However, the Brewers' momentum was halted, as they lost their second game in a row following a five-game winning streak.

The decisive inning saw the Cubs load the bases with a walk and a hit-by-pitch, then take the lead on a four-pitch walk. Seiya Suzuki extended the lead with a two-run single.

In the bottom of the 10th, the Brewers attempted a comeback. Joey Ortiz scored on a single, and another run came in on a bases-loaded walk. However, the Cubs' pitcher Jordan Wicks secured the save by inducing a game-ending double play, preserving the 4-3 victory.

The scoring began in the second inning with a home run from Gary Sanchez, giving the Brewers an early 1-0 lead. The Cubs tied the game 1-1 in the seventh inning after Ian Happ walked and Nico Hoerner singled, leading to Happ scoring on a wild pitch.
