Milwaukee, Wisconsin – As a reigning MVP of the National League and one of the Javier BaezThe few opponents in the ranks of the Central League's main offensive threats, Milwaukee Brewers (8-2) right defender Christian Yelich has always done his best by facing the Chicago Cubs (2-7) as a member of the Brewers . Yelich scored three goals and largely contributed to the Cubs' 4-2 fall and omission on a chance to win a series for the first time this season.

Kyle Hendricks got the green light to start on the mound for the Cubs, and he failed to bounce back after a gloomy start to his first appearance of the year last Monday. The right handed four runs on eight hits in four innings of work and fell to 0-2 as a result. Lorenzo Cain and Yelich, leading the Brewers' batters, gave the 1-2 players a first goal. A single from Cain at the first appearance of the afternoon plate in Milwaukee was followed by a 408-foot bomb from Yelich. Next time, Cain and Yelich hit consecutive singles, and Travis Shaw then tackled Cain with a RBI single to give the Brewers a 3-0 lead in the third.

Yelich's third RBI was stolen with a flying base on the fourth base, and Hendricks was hit hard in the top half of the next set, ending his afternoon. Meanwhile, Brewers shooter Zach Davies dominated his first five heats on the bump. However, a couple of singles singles by the Cubs in the sixth prepared scene for Chicago Catcher Willson Contreras go for the third time this season with a 390-foot return to the opposite field. The two-point explosion on the right scored the first goal Anthony Rizzo and shot the Cubs at two Brewers races.

Chicago failed to record a run at the end of the race, thanks largely to Josh Hader. The Brewers reliever came into play with runners in the corners and one on the seventh and shot two outs to prevent the Cubs from scoring. Chicago was 1-on-7 with runners in a scoring position that day. Hader continued with three climbs, three fewer in the eighth and ninth frames, recording three strikeouts in a perfect appearance that earned him his fifth save and a 4-2 win for the Brew Crew.

Cubs scored six hits in defeat and leader Ben Zobrist collected three of them. After losing two out of three at Miller Park, the Cubs will finally take over in front of their home crowd tomorrow, as the nine-game road trip to Chicago begins the season. The North Siders have to face the Pittsburgh Pirates (5-3) at Wrigley Field for the next three games. The first launch of the first game of the series, Monday, is scheduled at 13:20. CDT.
