Moncada singled, doubled, walked twice and scored a pair of runs for the visitors. Christian Yelich hit a two-run homer for Milwaukee but committed an error that led to an unearned run.

The series shifted to Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago for Game Three, and the Brewer prevailed in a pitchers duel. Ben Gamel homered in the second off Reynaldo Lopez and added an RBI double in the fourth. Moncada homered off reliever Alex Claudio in the sixth, and that was the scoring. Jordan Lyles threw five scoreless innings, allowing three hits, for the win, and the Brewers pieced together the final four innings with Claudio, Matt Albers, Gonzalez and Junior Guerra, who picked up the save.

The Brewers scored four runs in the second inning of Game Four and turned it into a rout with six more in the fourth, when eight men hit before the first out was recorded. Eric Thames hit a pair of solo homers, Yelich drove in three with a homer in the second and Cain had a two-run triple in the fourth. Chase Anderson pitched into the seventh, allowing two runs on seven hits.

Cain led off Game Five with a homer, and Braun tripled home a second run in the first. Orlando Arcia homered in the second, and Braun hit a two-run shot in the third as the Brewers stung Lucas Giolito with extra-base hits. Davies allowed one unearned run in 5.1 innngs, and Albers and Gonzalez retired all 11 men they faced as the Brewers wrapped up the series.
