Cubs rally for three runs in ninth, avoid sweep against Brewers

CHICAGO – The Cubs haven't had much success against the Brewers this season. With a wild comeback win on Thursday, the Cubs at least got the last laugh against their NL Central rival.

Jonathan Lucroy hit a grand slam and drove in seven runs for Milwaukee, but Alfonso Soriano's RBI single capped a three-run comeback in the ninth inning that lifted the Chicago Cubs over the Brewers 12-11.

The Cubs win capped a lopsided season series between the teams that saw Milwaukee take 13 of 17 games. Cubs manager Dale Sveum was a coach for the Brewers before taking the reins in Chicago.
