Great bounce back inning from Freddy!

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Good shutdown inning for Peralta in the 5th. Needed that quick one.

Opportunity to tack on some more runs and extend the lead.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Very nice recovery inning for Freddy. 

[CheezWizHed]

Sweating bullets, but I guess this is the definition of "effectively wild".  3 walks, but only 1 hit.  0 Runs is all that matters though.

Joey with the squibber!

Opponents' mistakes lead to runs. The story of the 2025 Brewers.

Brewers magic!

Let's keep the pressure on these turkey necks. 

[Zad Fnark]

The Brewers sure bring out the bumbling defenses.

[kevinisaname]

The ump has not been good this half inning. Bad against the Cubs, then against the Brewers just now.

[HarryDoyle]

These one run innings are nice, but we need a game breaking hit.

[folly412]

Based on what we hear from Cubs fans, I was under the impression that runs scored on defensive lapses didn't count at Wrigley.

[yfinn6]

Swing the damn bat, Brice. 

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Scored another single run, but not taking advantage of the opportunities for big innings so far.

Hope to get another shutdown inning from Peralta, which might be his last for the game depending on pitch count.

Like the 2023 Diamondbacks. They were the same way. 

[folly412]

Ump has been brutal.  Mostly squeezing, which is causing more pitches to be taken leading to more missed calls.

Turang just couldn’t pull the trigger

Debbie Downer!

Unless we’re talking about other pitches, that 3-2 pitch to Brice was strike 3. Can’t complain about that one. Super close, but not a bad call.

Freddy showed today why he is an ace 😉

Six innings for Freddy. He had one bad inning, but didn't allow a run, so I'll take it!

[BCF]

Nice start from Freddy 

6 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 6 K 

[MattK]

Good inning!
