Overview

• The Cubs jumped on Quinn Priester for four runs in the first, and the Brewers’ 4-3 loss at Wrigley trimmed their NLDS lead to 2-1.
• Priester was pulled after two-thirds of an inning and accepted blame, while five Milwaukee relievers combined for 7 1/3 scoreless frames to keep the game close.
• Milwaukee squandered prime chances, managing only one run with the bases loaded in the first, failing on a safety squeeze in the fourth, and striking out with the bases full in the eighth.
• Neither club has announced a Game 4 starter, though ESPN reports Chicago plans to start Matthew Boyd, and the Brewers are weighing Freddy Peralta on four days’ rest versus another bullpen game.
• Jackson Chourio played through a nagging hamstring and went 1-for-4, and Rhys Hoskins remains off the roster with a $4 million buyout set to make him a free agent.
