The Chicago Cubs have stumbled into a 0-2 hole in the 2025 NLDS vs. the Milwaukee Brewers, and their fanbase is reeling. After back-to-back losses in Milwaukee, the Cubs now face elimination as the series shifts to Wrigley Field for Game 3 on Wednesday.
In both games, the Cubs jumped out to early leads—Michael Busch homered in Game 1, and Seiya Suzuki hit a three-run blast in Game 2. But poor starting pitching and bullpen struggles flipped the script. Matthew Boyd and Shota Imanaga combined to allow nine runs over two starts. Jacob Misiorowski earned the Game 2 win with three scoreless innings, and Abner Uribe sealed the Brewers’ second straight victory. Milwaukee scored all seven runs in Game 2 with two outs, exposing the Cubs' inability to close innings.
