Summary
Cubs’ season takes a hit as pitcher Ben Brown is ruled out for good, ending his promising campaign early after a neck injury flared up during a bullpen session. With a 1.85 ERA and 65 strikeouts before the setback, Brown’s absence stings — especially as the Cubs battle to hold onto the second NL Wild Card spot amid a six-loss skid in their last ten games. The Brewers, nine games ahead in the division, have already won two of the four-game series, and the Cubs now head to Miami needing a strong turnaround without their key arm.
