Busch scored on a wild pitch. Then with runners on second and third and two outs, Ian Happ hit a swinging bunt. Misiorowski fielded it and sailed a throw over first baseman Andrew Vaughn, giving the Cubs a chance to tack on two more runs.

With William Contreras playing with a fractured finger much of the season and struggling offensively, Jansen gives the Brewers more flexibility behind the plate.
