Brewers Spill Cubs, 6-5
Christian Encarnacion-Strand was a major contributor to the 6-5 Milwaukee win over Chicago. The Brewers third baseman was 3-5 with a home run and a triple, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Picking up the save was Austin Adams, his 24th. Milwaukee is now 68-71.

Milwaukee used a timely hit from Randal Grichuk to get the win. The pinch hitter stroked a 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Brewers ahead, 6-5. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it made an impact.

"We'll hit the hot tub in good spirits tonight," said Grichuk.
