GAME REPORT
CUBS 4, BREWERS 3
BEHIND THE BOX SCORE
Two plays were challenged by video reviews, with the teams splitting the decisions. One of the calls cost the Cubs their manager, however. When Joe Maddon questioned a review at first base that went against Chicago in the third inning, he was ejected by crew chief Hunter Wendelstedt by rule. Wendelstedt tried to give Maddon a break by motioning him back toward the dugout but when the manager kept coming, he got tossed. The Brewers lost a challenge at second base in the fifth in which Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant was shaken up and had to leave the game with concussion-like symptoms.
Brewers right-hander Kyle Lohse has allowed at least one home run in all of his 12 home starts. Sixteen of his 25 homers allowed have come at Miller Park.
