Desperately need this Zeferjahn for the rest of the season to have any shot.

PCA blasts one to tie it.  way out.  Going to be another bullpen game.

7-3 Marlins.  All three of his walks and his HBP have scored.  Caissie hit a rocket bouncer, ver hard hit, could have been a DP, but Busch kinda whiffed on it.  Very hard hit, but Cubs defense has so often made those plays, almost surprising when Busch didn't. 

1-1 after 5.  Will be a bullpen game.  Boyd has been really good, but gave up a sharp groundball single leading off 5th, then a bunt and a line single by a lefty. 

Cubs HR by Ramirez, Gasser is done.  Cubs have had some chances.  In 4th, Taylor hit a long, deep one-out double, I thought for sure Bregman would score; but Bregman obviously is pretty slow, and didn't read it super well, and took a long time to start running, so Berry held him at 3rd.  Then Hoerner with right side wide open was in dead pull mode and hit a quick bouncer right at pulled-in infielder and Bregman was out by 40 feet, and then Shaw whiffed.  In 5th, had couple of guys on, but Bregman popped out.  So some missed opportunities.  Brewers got like one opportunity, and of course got a hit and cashed in. 

Didn't he also get thrown out trying to steal third with two outs (a couple of games ago)? 

Boog just reported that Bregman has 21 2-out RBIs since the break.

Cubs walk three in the 8th, creating runs.  Bummer, Boyd had been sharp all day, but got ahead like 1-2 on the #8 hitter, then nibbled around and walked him.  Boyd with a crucial walk, Zeferjahn with a crucial walk, then Webb came in and walked another to push the 4th run to 3b to score on a sac.  Just too many walks.
