Enhanced Box Score: Brewers 7, Cubs 1 – June 30, 2024

Nico Hoerner hit the second pitch of the game into the stands.

And that was it. The Cubs had a bloop single later that same inning, but literally no other hits in the game. Just nothing to say. Back to sleep we all go.

On the other side, the Brewers did all their scoring in a single inning, capped by a Brice Turang grand slam (Ankin Law “Making It Personal” Player of the Game by default?). With assists from the Cubs’ defense, the sun, and some hanging pitches, the Brewers exploded for 7 runs in the 4th inning, bouncing Kyle Hendricks from the game and putting him on “Is Kyle Actually Not Back?” watch.

There was one nice thing, I guess …

Full box score.
