Explosive home runs fueled the Milwaukee Brewers' sweep over the Chicago Cubs.

The Milwaukee Brewers scored three runs in the first and second innings and never looked back.

Logan Henderson delivered another stellar start as he guided the Brewers to their 91st win of the year as they defeated the Chicago Cubs, 8-6.

Inch by inch, this team continues to get closer to a new franchise wins record, and it's not out of the question to see the Brewers reach 100 wins this season.

Everyone seems to be getting hot at the plate as this game featured Christian Yelich getting the team rolling with a three-run blast. The game saw Jackson Chourio homer in his second straight game, William Contreras hit his 100th career bomb, and Henderson put up a zero as his historic career continues.

The Cubs couldn't have asked for a better time to face the Brewers. These teams had played each other just a few nights ago in a series that saw the Cubs take two of four against the team with the best record in all of baseball.

Milwaukee has just ended a streak where they've played 16 games in 16 days, so the bullpen was tired and everyone had an argument to be injured and fatigued, but this team keeps putting on performances for the ages.

Manager Pat Murphy knows how to get the best out of a Brewers team that doesn't have a monstrous payroll, but no matter what, this team continues to be one of the most consistent winners in all of baseball.

Regular season wins can only go so far, but when the trio of Chourio, Contreras, and Yelich is combining for all eight of the team's RBIs, then you know something special is going down.

Yelich has been on a heater recently, specifically in this Cubs series. He had a crucial sacrifice fly in game one, delivered a two-strike, two-out single 24 hours ago that paved the way for Chourio's homer, and then he set the tone tonight with a three-run home run for the ages.

The Brewers were able to chase Kevin Gasman after just four innings, and surprisingly, there wasn't a single earned run credited against a Cubs reliever in this game.

It was smooth sailing for the Brewers in this one through the first eight innings as the only run Henderson allowed was unearned. He threw a five-inning, two-hit gem, and then JoJo Romero delivered in his two innings of work.

Brandon Sproat hadn't pitched in the big leagues since August 3, but Murphy was ready to give him another chance. The 25-year-old worked through a six-pitch eighth inning, but then the wheels started to fall off.

Abner Uribe had to relieve Sproat in the ninth as he was stuck in a bases-loaded jam. Officially, Sproat was credited with four earned runs after he walked four of the first five batters he faced in the ninth. 

It wasn't a clean frame from Uribe, but not even a five-run ninth inning was enough for the Cubs to mount a comeback.
