Pfft. It ain’t no tiebreaker game so whatever.
The Cubs lost 7-4 today to the Brewers at Sloan, with Jon Lester giving up a two-run shot to Travis Shaw in the first, and Matt Carasiti allowing the bulk of the rest of the damage in the 6th.
The homer isn’t going to bother Lester, who is getting in his work:

Wick gets Cain and Yelich to ground out, hits Aguilar, and then strikes Travis Shaw out on a breaking ball. Len and JD quoted Wick at 95 a couple different times. Nice simple delivery, looks under control. https://t.co/e4S8qMYGDu
