Facing the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 5 of the National League Divisional Series, Chicago&#8217;s batters couldn&#8217;t get anything going against Milwaukee&#8217;s vaunted pitching. The result is an ugly 3-1 loss that sent the Cubs packing and rethinking their decisions this season.<\/p>\n<p>After the game, Cubs stars Michael Busch and Pete Crow-Armstrong expressed their disappointment with their early exit from the MLB playoffs. Busch lamented the loss, saying that it&#8217;s tough for this team to lose this early, and pointed to their close relationships as a team.<\/p>\n<p>Crow-Armstong was emotional during the post-game interview, too. The Cubs star said that despite the heartbreak of the early exit, he still enjoyed his time with the team and that they did well this year.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Michael Busch reacts to the Cubs&#8217; season-ending loss in NLDS Game 5. pic.twitter.com\/vTD7m6Jfjh<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Marquee Sports Network (@WatchMarquee) October 12, 2025<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Cubs had a chance at history in Game 5. After starting off the Brewers series 0-2, Chicago clawed their way back to tie the series after Game 4. Had they won in Game 5, they would have been just the 11th team to win a best-of-five series after going down two games. However, facing a gauntlet of pitchers headed by Trevor Megill and Jacob Misiorowski, Chicago just couldn&#8217;t get anything going. They got just four hits throughout the game, with the lone run coming off a Seiya Suzuki blast. Busch went 1-for-3 with a hit and a walk, while PCA was held hitless in three at-bats, striking out once.<\/p>\n<p>The Cubs will now head into the offseason with a ton of questions. They had an excellent start to the season, but a slight slip and a resurgence from the Brewers allowed the Brew Crew to take the division lead. That lead proved to make a difference, as the deciding Game 5 of the season was not played in Wrigley Field, but rather in American Family Field.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cubs&#8217;
