Tommy La Stella drew a bases-loaded walk in the 10th inning as the Cubs nipped the Brewers 5-4 in Milwaukee. Jon Jay doubled, singled, scored twice and drove in one for the Cubs. Chicago is 9-and-1 in its past 10 games.
Corey Knebel was charged with the loss, walking three and yielding two hits. Stephen Vogt and Brett Phillips homered in the Milwaukee second. The Brewers' third straight loss dropped them into third place, a half-game behind the Cardinals and five-and-a-half games behind the Cubs in the division. The Brewers trail Colorado by one-and-a-half games for the final National League wild card spot.
Game 3 in the series is this afternoon in Milwaukee.
