MILWAUKEE – Jordan Wicks spun out of his delivery and turned to watch third baseman Alex Bregman collect the grounder and fire it to second baseman Nico Hoerner. The Cubs' pitcher then followed Hoerner getting the out and relaying the ball to first baseman Michael Busch. And with that double play, the celebration was on. Wicks punched the air with his left fist and let out a well-earned howl after putting the period on a 4-3 win in 10 innings over the Brewers. With everything thrown at Chicago’s pitching staff in the past week, this was an exhausting, satisfying victory to end a draining road trip with a 6-1 showing. And it required seven relievers to finish the job. “It just shows how much of a team game it is,” Wicks said. “How much it takes all – you can’t even say 26, more than that – to be able to do that.”
