Game 8



4-4


Wow...this game was so bad I don't even want to call it a Cubs game. The Cubs were there, they were both in the field and at bat, but I wouldn't say they actually "played".

Brewers jumped on Matt Garza early and often to start the game and never looked back.

There was never really a point where the Cubs threatened. Heck, the only exciting point for the Cubs was when Starlin Castro whiffed on a throw down to second and took the baseball right off the face. 

Brewers starting pitcher Chris Narveson got the win with six strong innings of six hit baseball, striking out nine and walking one. He was helped by a monster game from Prince Fielder who had 4 RBI on two big doubles.

Next up for the Cubs is the rubber game that will feature newly called up righty Casey Coleman who will take Randy Wells spot in the rotation while Wells in on the DL with forearm stiffness. Coleman was 4-2 last year in 12 appearances (including 8 starts). Coleman will be opposed by Brewers starter Yovani Gallardo (1-0) who pitched a complete game shutout in his last appearance to beat the Atlanta Braves.
