Cubs take 3-run lead in 10th, hang on to edge Brewers 4-3

Seiya Suzuki singled in two runs to key a three-run 10th inning and Jordan Wicks, called up earlier Sunday, got a game-ending double play with the bases loaded to preserve the Chicago Cubs 4-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers in the decider of the three-game series.

Heading into the tenth inning tied 1-1, the Cubs three-run lead was quickly put into jeopardy when the Brewers responded with two of their own, and had the bases loaded with no outs. Jordan Wicks, called up that day from Triple A Iowa, finally got a shallow fly out and the game-ending double play.

Jacob Webb (3-2) got the win with a scoreless ninth. Wicks notched his first save of the season.

With two wins in the weekend series, the Cubs, who have won 8 of their last 10, edged back to within 5.5 games of the Brewers for the division lead.

Shota Imanaga (5-6, 4.40) starts for the Cubs on Monday against the Padres, who have not named a starter.
