The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Chicago Cubs 9-5 Wednesday night at Wrigley Field, with the offense compensating for an uncharacteristic struggling performance by Jacob Misiorowski. The Brewers ace allowed five earned runs over four innings while walking four batters, matching the worst start of his career according to reporting on the game.

Jackson Chourio led the Milwaukee attack, going 4-for-6 with a solo home run. Four different Brewers hitters contributed RBI singles in the victory, per Sportsnet's game summary. Misiorowski did strike out five Cubs despite the rough night.

One report suggested the Brewers' ability to win despite their pitcher's struggles could prove important for their postseason prospects, though the reporting provided did not elaborate on Milwaukee's playoff positioning or remaining schedule.
