That Wild 10th Inning and Jordan Wicks Stunned the Brewers with THIS Double Play
Holy smokes, did you catch the end of that Cubs-Brewers game?! If you missed it, you absolutely need to hear about the absolute insanity that went down in Milwaukee. The Cubs pulled off a wild 4-3 victory in 10 innings, thanks to some serious clutch hitting from Seiya Suzuki and a game-ending play that had everyone losing their minds. Seriously, what a finish!
Suzuki's Clutch Single and the Bases-Loaded Chaos
The 10th inning started with Joel Kuhnel on the mound for the Brewers, and with the automatic runner, Justin Dean, advancing to third on a ground out, things were already tense. The Cubs weren't messing around either. With two outs, Pete Crow-Armstrong got an intentional walk and then straight up stole second. That's gutsy! Then, Alex Bregman got hit by a pitch, and boom, bases loaded. You could feel the pressure building. Michael Busch didn't even need to swing, he walked to force in the go-ahead run. But the real fireworks? That came when Seiya Suzuki stepped up and smacked a two-run single to left. Just like that, the Cubs were up by three, and you thought, okay, game over, right? Nope, not even close.

Wicks Steps Up When It Mattered Most, From Triple-A to Hero
The bottom of the 10th kicked off, and the Brewers were not going to quit. Ethan Roberts came in for the Cubs, and Christian Yelich immediately singled in a run, taking second on the throw home. Then Jackson Chourio walked, and Brice Turang singled. Just like that, bases loaded, NO OUTS. My heart was in my throat! In comes Jordan Wicks, who was literally called up from Triple-A earlier that Sunday. Talk about high stakes for your first appearance! He walked pinch-hitter Garrett Mitchell, making it 4-3. The Brewers were one run down, still bases loaded, still no outs. But Wicks dug deep. Jake Bauers flew out in foul territory, and then Gary Sanchez bounced one to third. That's when the magic happened: a game-ending double play! Can you believe it? Jacob Webb got the win with a scoreless ninth, and Wicks, the guy fresh from Triple-A, notched his first save of the season. What a way to earn it!
Before all that 10th inning drama, the Brewers actually kicked things off with a 1-0 lead in the second inning thanks to Gary Sanchez's eighth homer, a solo shot off Ryan Rolison. The Cubs tied it 1-all in the seventh off Aaron Ashby when Ian Happ scored on a wild pitch. What a rollercoaster! The Brewers are back at it Monday with Robert Gasser on the mound against the Reds and Nick Lodolo. Meanwhile, the Cubs have Shota Imanaga starting against the Padres, who haven't named their guy yet. You know we'll be watching to see how these teams shake out after such a wild finish!
