The Chicago Cubs unleashed a relentless offensive barrage Wednesday afternoon, dismantling the Milwaukee Brewers 10-3 in a matinee that showcased their lineup's depth and patience. Pete Crow-Armstrong led the charge with a 3-for-4 performance, sparking rallies with his speed and clutch hitting, while Kyle Tucker (2-for-3, 2 RBI) and Ian Happ (1-for-2, HR, 2 runs) delivered the big blows. The Cubs made Brewers starter Freddy Peralta pay for four walks in just four innings, capitalizing with a five-run outburst that included Moises Ballesteros' three-RBI single—a rare highlight in his limited at-bats. Chicago's bullpen then slammed the door, with Caleb Thielbar and Daniel Palencia combining for three scoreless frames to silence any Milwaukee momentum.

William Contreras' two-homer day provided the Brewers' only resistance, but it wasn't nearly enough as Milwaukee's pitching unraveled. DL Hall's nightmarish inning—three runs on three hits—epitomized the Brewers' struggles, while the Cubs' balanced attack saw nine different players reach base. The victory pulls Chicago within striking distance in the NL Central race, while Milwaukee's fourth loss in six games raises urgent questions about their pitching depth as the stretch run looms.
