Since individual games count only as one win or one loss no matter how ugly, the Cubs can still win this series today.
Kyle Hendricks will try to bounce back from a rough outing in St. Louis where his command abandoned him. It almost goes without saying at this point, but boy could the Cubs use seven strong innings from him today.
Going for the Brewers is old friend, Matt Garza, which could mean that Dexter Fowler will (should?) lead off the game with a bunt.
