Brewers Cut Down Cubs, 9-3
The timely hitting of Alex Cruz helped the Milwaukee Brewers down the Chicago Cubs, 9-3. Cruz went 2 for 3 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Brewers. At 55-78, the Brewers are currently 4th in the National League Central Division.

With Milwaukee leading 1-0 in the bottom of the fourth, Cruz came up to bat against Chicago pitcher Rodrigo Gonzales. Cruz hit a changeup to right-center for a solo home run. His 27th home run of the season put the Brewers on top, 2-0.

"The name on the front of this uniform is all that matters to me," Cruz told the Milwaukee Herald. "And padding the Milwaukee win column."
