MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Brewers rallied for a 4-3 walk-off win over the Chicago Cubs in the 10th inning, securing their 90th victory of the season and moving them closer to clinching a playoff berth. The game, played at American Family Field, saw the Brewers overcome a late deficit to extend their winning streak and solidify their position in the NL Central race.
With two outs in the bottom of the 10th, pinch-hitter Tyrone Taylor delivered a decisive single to right field, scoring William Contreras from second base. The rally was sparked by a leadoff double from Christian Yelich and a sacrifice bunt by Garrett Mitchell that advanced the runner to third. Cubs reliever Adbert Alzolay struggled to contain the Brewers' lineup in extra innings, allowing the go-ahead run.
Manager Craig Counsell praised the team’s resilience, noting, 'We’ve been down before and found a way. That’s what this group does.' The win showcased the Brewers’ depth and clutch performance under pressure, particularly in high-leverage situations. Their bullpen, which had faltered earlier in the season, held firm after starter Corbin Burnes pitched six strong innings.
The victory improves Milwaukee’s record to 90-62 and puts them just one win away from securing a postseason spot. With three games remaining against the Cubs and a favorable schedule ahead, the Brewers are positioned to clinch the division or at least a wild-card berth. Their next matchup is Friday night at home against Chicago.
