Chicago Cubs blow another big lead in an 8-5 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers, who score 4 in the 8th to improve to 14-3 in the season series and close in on a playoff berth

Lorenzo Cain lined into a double play to end the inning, and Frank Schwindel, who came into the night hitting a league-best .440 since Sept. 3, led off the fifth with a solo home run, his 14th of the season. Davies was removed in the bottom of the fifth, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks over 4⅓ innings.
