Wilson, 1-2-3, two K's. 

I liked that inning a lot.  Last year it seemed the relievers were constantly trying to throw chase breaking balls.  This inning he was mostly throwing fastballs, and was able to get ahead. His 1st K to Pina was on a chase curve, not close to the plate.  But when you're pounding a lot of fastballs, I suspect the chase pitch works a lot better.  Nice inning for Justin, for whom confidence is probably a big issue.

Contreras 1 out triple, another chance with a runner at third and less than 2 outs.

Schwarber quickly down 0-2...

Ugh, another K.

Schwarber got off to a quick start, but he's been bad for several days now.

Make that 1-10.

But everything is all right. No blimps on fire here.

What have the Cubs done with runners on third and less than two out so far this year? They have to be among the worst in the lead in that situation.

Brewers have been working him up in the zone this series.  He's not catching up with anything up there.

Now we know at least one catcher will likely be suspended:
