CHICAGO, IL (WSAU) –Josh Hader defeated Nico Hoerner in a 13 pitch at-bat to close out the 9th inning and help the Brewers top the Chicago Cubs 6-5 on Sunday.
Orlando Arcia led the way with three hits, three runs scored, and two RBI in 4 at-bats. Keston Hiura also belted a three-run home run in the 3rd that scored Arcia and Luis Urias.
In addition to his two-run blast, Arcia scored the game-winning run on a base hit by Ryan Braun in the 7th.
Hader closed it out in the 9th, including getting Hoerner to line out to center field after an epic 13 pitch at-bat. He earned his 5th save in the process.
Eric Yardley shook off a blown save to pick up his 1st win of the year. Josh Lindblom went five innings and gave up five earned runs but did not factor into the decision.
The Brewers took 3 of 4 from the Cubs in the series on what will be their final trip to Wrigley this season unless the two teams match up in the postseason. The Crew will enjoy an off day on Monday as they travel to Minneapolis for their next series with the Twins on Tuesday.
