CHICAGO – The Milwaukee Brewers decided they weren’t going to let the Cubs’ big hitters beat them Wednesday.

The Cubs had no answer for the defensive shift Milwaukee utilized throughout the game when four hitters – Alfonso Soriano, Ian Stewart, Bryan Lahair and Geovany Soto – batted. The foursome went a combined 2 for 13 which included four groundouts (one double play).

“For right now, they’ve been getting a lot of ground balls up the middle,” Soto said. “It’s just something we need to adjust to and maybe hit the hole to the right side and the lefties try to hit it the other way.”
