The Chicago Cubs were eliminated from the National League Division Series with a 3\u20131 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on the road Saturday in a win-or-go-home Game 5.<\/p>\n

The No. 1 Brewers advanced to the NL Championship Series, where they will face the defending World Series champion, No. 3 Los Angeles Dodgers.<\/p>\n

Milwaukee was quick to troll Chicago after the win by breaking out an “L” flag, an ode to the Cubs’ tradition of Flying the W<\/a> after wins. <\/p>\n

The Cubs’ only RBI came on a Seiya Suzuki home run, while the lineup went a combined 4-of-31 at the plate.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Milwaukee’s Brice Turang, William Contreras and Andrew Vaughn each hit home runs, while Caleb Durbin went a perfect 2-for-2 at the plate.<\/p>\n

Fans ripped the Cubs after their offense failed to produce in the Game 5 loss, preventing them from advancing to the NLCS.<\/p>\n

Contreras opened the scoring for the Brewers in the bottom of the first, launching a 389-foot home run off Drew Pomeranz to ignite the home crowd and give Milwaukee a 1-0 lead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The advantage was short-lived, as Suzuki answered in the top of the second with a solo homer to tie the game at one and quiet the crowd.<\/p>\n

Vaughn reclaimed the lead for Milwaukee in the bottom of the fourth, launching a 383-foot homer off Daniel Palencia to make it 2-1. Later, in the seventh, Turang crushed his first career postseason home run \u2014 a 416-foot shot to center \u2014 extending Milwaukee’s lead to 3-1.<\/p>\n

Game 1 of the NLCS between the Brewers and the Dodgers is set for Monday, giving Los Angeles several days of rest after defeating Philadelphia on Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Chicago Cubs were eliminated from the National League Division Series with a 3\u20131 loss to the Milwaukee…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":206808,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,462,82],"class_list":["post-206807","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/206807","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=206807"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/206807\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/206808"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=206807"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=206807"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=206807"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
