CHICAGO — William Contreras hit a tiebreaking double in the ninth inning and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Chicago Cubs 3-2. Blake Perkins singled leading off the ninth against Héctor Neris. Contreras put Milwaukee on top one out later when he lined a double to left-center, helping the NL Central leaders end a rough day on a winning note. Before the game, the Brewers placed Christian Yelich on the 10-day injured list because of inflammation in his lower back and they were bracing for the possibility that their All-Star outfielder will miss significant time. Reliever Bryse Wilson held Chicago to one run in four innings. Jakob Junis then pitched one-hit ball over three innings before Joel Payamps worked the ninth for his fifth save. Chicago's Seiya Suzuki homered.
