The Milwaukee Brewers completed a one-run comeback to defeat the Chicago Cubs 4-3 on Monday, September 7, 2026, at American Family Field. Milwaukee trailed by one before rallying to take the lead and hold it through nine innings, with Abner Uribe earning the win out of the bullpen and Trevor Megill picking up the save. The victory keeps the Brewers sharp in a division rivalry that carries real weight this deep into the regular season.

Robert Gasser Steadies the Start Before Bullpen Takes Over

Robert Gasser gave Milwaukee a fighting chance by working 4.2 innings, allowing just one earned run on three hits while striking out five and walking two. That's a quality performance from a starter tasked with keeping the Cubs' lineup in check, and Gasser delivered enough to give the bullpen a workable situation.

Chad Patrick followed with 1.1 scoreless innings, surrendering no hits and punching out one. Then Aaron Ashby ran into trouble in his inning of work, giving up two hits, a walk, and a run that briefly tilted the game back toward Chicago. Abner Uribe answered with a clean inning — no hits, no walks, no runs — and that's the outing that earned him the win. Trevor Megill closed things out in the ninth, allowing one hit and one earned run before locking it down for his save.

Cubs Offense Provided Consistent Threats Throughout

Chicago didn't make things easy. Pete Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a home run and an RBI, giving the Cubs their most dangerous individual performance of the night. Alex Bregman contributed two hits in three at-bats with an RBI, and Pedro Ramírez added a solo home run in four at-bats. That's three Cubs hitters who made real noise, and Milwaukee's pitching staff still found a way through.

Matthew Boyd was the story on the other side. The Cubs left-hander went seven innings, struck out seven, and allowed three earned runs on five hits and two walks. Boyd was sharp enough that Milwaukee had to grind for everything it got. His line is the kind that wins most nights — it just didn't win this one.

Turning Point: Uribe's Clean Inning Flips the Momentum

After Ashby coughed up the lead in the eighth, the game was at its most precarious. Uribe's scoreless inning stopped the bleeding and handed the offense the opening it needed. Milwaukee answered with the go-ahead run, and Megill — despite allowing a hit and a run in the ninth — finished the job. The sequence from Ashby's stumble through Uribe's recovery was the spine of this game.

What's Next for Milwaukee

The Brewers continue their home stand at American Family Field. A 4-3 win over a division opponent in September is the kind of result that matters, and Milwaukee got it the hard way — coming from behind, leaning on a deep bullpen, and holding off a Cubs lineup that had legitimate weapons throughout the order. The next series will show whether this group can build on it.
