It was the Cubs' 11th walk-off win this season. Milwaukee had tied the game at 2 in the ninth when Ryan Braun scored from third on a wild pitch by Hector Rondon, which Montero said he should've blocked. Braun belted his 250th career home run in the first inning, but the Cubs tied the game in the second on Kris Bryant's opposite-field blast and took a 2-1 lead in the fifth on Addison Russell's RBI single. Montero connected off Michael Blazek for his second career walk-off hit. "He was upset with himself [about the wild pitch] -- any catcher would be," Cubs manager Joe Maddon said of Montero. "You always believe it's your fault. [The home run] was kind of a redeemer right there. That ball was properly struck." MOMENTS THAT MATTERED Glovework: Rizzo's spectacular catch was a highlight of the game. He jumped on top of the rolled tarp near first base, then took a step on top of the wall and the back of a seat to grab a popup by Braun with one on and one out in the sixth. Besides his balancing act on the tarp, Rizzo also made a stellar defensive play in the second. Scooter Gennett was at second with nobody out when Jean Segura bunted to Jason Hammel, who threw him out at first. Rizzo then fired to Bryant at third to get Gennett, who had rounded the bag too far. Rizzo wasn't alone. In the third, second baseman Chris Coghlan made a leaping catch to rob Jonathan Lucroy of a potential hit and end the inning. Rizzo also made a perfectly timed grab of Segura's liner in the fifth. More > "That was one of the best plays I've ever seen in baseball," Hammel said of Rizzo's precarious play. "It was impressive." Extra life: The Brewers missed an opportunity to put Russell away in the fifth. With two outs and a runner at second base, Milwaukee's Adam Lind and Gennett converged on Russell's popup in foul ground near the visitor's bullpen, but neither could come up with a catch. Russell smacked the very next pitch for a go-ahead single against Milwaukee starter Matt Garza, who pitched seven innings for the second straight start. "It's a tough play," Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. "Tough play, but makeable." Start me up: Hammel wasn't happy about being pulled after four-plus innings in his last start, and didn't look pleased when he was lifted with two outs in the sixth Wednesday. Hammel did reach a milestone when he fanned Shane Peterson to start the sixth -- it was career strikeout No. 1,000. The right-hander scattered four hits over 5 2/3 innings, striking out five in the game. More > "I am certain he's going to be upset," Maddon said of Hammel. "I expect him to be upset. I'm happy that he's going to be upset because he's such a competitor and an outstanding pitcher." Wanting more: Braun's single put the Brewers in business in the top of the ninth inning against Rondon, who had already thrown one wild pitch when he found himself with runners at second and third and nobody out in a one-run game. Rondon struck out Khris Davis and Gennett, then struck out Segura, too, but threw another wild pitch in the process that allowed Braun to score the tying run. Still, it felt like a missed opportunity for Milwaukee. "We had a couple spots in the game where we had to execute, and I think with where we're at right now to win games we've got to out-execute the other team and execute the baseball plays," Counsell said. "We had a baserunning mistake early that cost us a rally. We were fortunate to tie it there in the end. But we've got to make that extra play to win a game like this." QUOTABLE "They've got a youth movement. They sacrificed a lot of years for, not only the city, but a bunch of guys who played here to get what they've got, but they've been adamant in sticking with their plan, and they got what they wanted. -- Garza, the former Cub talking about the buzz at Wrigley Field of late "Of course [I've seen Derek Jeter make those kind of plays]. I don't know what baseball fan hasn't. Mine is nothing compared to his. He's all out, face in the stands. I had a nice easy landing, which I'm very lucky for. It's one of those things where instincts take over. Every little play matters." -- Rizzo on his catch SOUND SMART WITH YOUR FRIENDS Braun had three hits and scored three runs, beginning with the first-inning solo home run off Hammel that left Braun one shy of Hall of Famer Robin Yount's franchise record for home runs. Yount hit 251 home runs during his 20-year Brewers career. More > Cubs starting pitchers are 9-0 with a 2.38 ERA in their last 13 games. QUOTABLE "This is a team on a roll right now. At times, you play teams during different stretches, and this is a team that's playing well, playing with a lot of confidence right now. Everything is going their way. We have to upset that somehow." -- Counsell, on the Cubs WHAT'S NEXT Brewers: Rookie right-hander Tyler Cravy will make his first career start against the Cubs when the teams finish their three-game series on Thursday. Cravy is still seeking his first big league win after three starts and one relief appearance, including a loss to the Cardinals last week in which Cravy surrendered six earned runs in five innings. Cubs: Jon Lester is 3-0 with a 1.84 ERA in his last four starts, and will try to keep that string going Thursday in the series finale against the Brewers. This will be Lester's fourth career start against Milwaukee and second this year. He picked up a win May 1 at Wrigley over the Brewers, throwing seven scoreless innings. First pitch is scheduled for 1:20 p.m. CT. More > http://m.brewers.mlb.com/news/article/142762666/ryan-braun-hits-250th-career-home-run Braun’s 250th HR one shy of Yount’s record Brewers outfielder closes in on franchise mark with first-inning shot By Adam McCalvy / MLB.com | August 13, 2015 CHICAGO -- In the moments after a 10-inning, 3-2 loss to the Cubs that presented the Brewers opportunities to win, Ryan Braun had a hard time finding the joy in his position alongside a franchise icon. On one hand, Braun hit his 250th home run in the first inning Wednesday at Wrigley Field to move one shy of Hall of Famer Robin Yount's franchise record. But Braun was also on the wrong end of a sensational Anthony Rizzo catch that carried the Cubs first baseman into the seats, and lamented the Brewers' 15th loss in their last 21 games. "Obviously, it's special," Braun said of pulling to within one home run of Yount. "I'm headed in the right direction. But right now we focus on us, focus on what we're trying to do as a team, and it's hard to enjoy any type of individual success when things are going the way they are as a team. "Obviously, home runs are nice. It's challenging for us to score runs right now. But other than that, I never reflect on anything like that during the year." Braun, who sat out the start of Tuesday's series opener with a stiff back, hit No. 250 off Cubs starter Jason Hammel in his 4,619th at-bat. Yount amassed his 251 homers in 11,008 at-bats. It gave Braun 20 home runs in a season for the first time since 2012, when he was runner-up to the Giants' Buster Posey in National League MVP balloting. Braun hit nine home runs in a 2013 season shortened by a suspension, and 19 home runs in 2014 while battling discomfort at the base of his right thumb. Braun received treatment for a nerve issue in the joint in October and again in May, and has resumed hitting for power this season. The homer was the first of Braun's three hits, and he scored again in the ninth on a wild pitch that pushed the game to a 10th inning, when Cubs catcher Miguel Montero won it with a home run off Michael Blazek.

  • It's a Nearly Perfect Day in Late September
    10 strong of heart of strong by dennis brown craicounsellG Major-league veteran made a career of giving back It’s a nearly perfect day in late September at Wrigley Field as the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers prepare for one of the final games of the 2011 baseball season. The sky is cloudless, the temperature is 72 degrees and the Brewers are three games away from clinching the National League Central Division title. Standing outside the batting cage prior to the game is Craig Counsell, a 15-year veteran of the big leagues and 1992 Notre Dame graduate. He’s in a batting practice group with two or three other Brewer bench players, taking five or six swings, stepping out for the others, then stepping back in for another round. While waiting, he stands alone, quietly, a steely stare on his face. In his first round of BP he rolls a few pitches into the ground and hits a couple of flares, but he’s just taking easy swings, and in subsequent rounds he begins to stroke line drives to all fields. Later in the day, as was the case throughout the year, Counsell came off the bench to pinch hit. He ripped a shot much like those in BP, but it was caught for an out. It was that kind of year for Counsell, at least at the plate. As always, however, he excelled defensively at three positions and helped the Brewers reach the National League Championship Series against the St. Louis Cardinals. It was yet another memorable ride for a player and man who is universally respected for what he’s done on and off the field.
