Cubs' quest to move closer in division race ends badly with flurry of walks in Milwaukee. McGrawDHSports Cubs
MILWAUKEE -- The day began with a chance for the Cubs to climb back into the division race and ended in dismal failure.
"I hate to say it, but I think they're must-win games," Cubs reliever Michael Fulmer said."We're better than what we're playing right now, everybody in every aspect. When we have a lead like that, we're going to need to be able to hold it." Fulmer got the Cubs through the sixth inning and there seemed to be no cause for concern in the seventh with Julian Merryweather, who retired two of the first three batters he faced. But then Merryweather walked two in a row to load the bases.
"We've got to play better defense. little things when you lose a game like this. Guys that have been really good weren't sharp today." "The bullpen's been great," Fulmer said."We had our talks before June telling ourselves we need to pick it up. I think today's just kind of a blip in the road. Everybody had trouble throwing strikes. Those days are going to happen.
