Brewers Get Hard-Earned Win, Stop Cubs, 5-4
Chicago third baseman Adam McCloskey had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. McCloskey was 4 for 4 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once, even as Milwaukee beat the Cubs, 5-4. Dan Buskey, 5-4, earned the win in relief. He allowed no runs on no hits in 2 innings. Milwaukee occupies second place in the National League Central Division at 62-39.

Brian Duncan came through with a big-time hit for Milwaukee. The catcher smacked a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 5-4. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"Winning is always a team effort," Duncan said after the game.
