The Chicago Cubs held off elimination in yesterday’s NLDS Game 3, but they’ll need another win tonight to keep their season — and the series against Milwaukee — alive.
The Brewers won Games 1 and 2 of the series before it shifted to Chicago for last night’s Game 3.
For the second time in two games, Cubs first baseman Michael Busch led off with a home run, making history as the only MLB player to achieve that feat. Following that lead off homer, the Cubs scored three more in the first inning. The Cubs took Game 3, 4-3.
