The Chicago Cubs outplayed Jacob Misiorowski and the Milwaukee Brewers, but their offense wasn’t enough as Milwaukee stole Game 3 to take a 2-1 series lead in this four-game set.

Dansby Swanson has been a key part of the Chicago Cubs in 2026, providing Gold Glove-caliber defense and 18 home runs with 66 RBIs despite hitting .216 this season.
