Chicago Cubs Score and Summary (04.05.25): Brewers 4, Cubs 0

The Cubs were neglected when they tried to sweep the brewers on the American family field on Sunday afternoon. What the duel of a pitcher for Chicago was apart after Ace Shōta Imanaga had to leave the game with a left knee tendon in the 6th Inning.

Julian Merryweather came to relief and immediately uncovered a wild field to give the brewer the lead. Daz Cameron followed with an RBI single, and Caleb Durbin beat two runs to give the home team a 4-0 advantage.

The offensive of the Cubs could not get the whole game going on Sunday and followed the same lead to defeat them. ((Box score)))

Key moment

Merryweather had to come into a downshift after the injury of Imanaga and just didn't have it. That was the only game on Sunday.

Why the Cubs lost

This was a rare time in 2025 when the line -up basically did nothing.

Statistics that are important

• Imanaga was good before the injury, but it may be on the road for a long time: 5.2 IP, 2 R, 4 H, 4 K, 1 BB.
• Kyle Tucker had two of the five goals from the Cubs.

Conclusion

The result of this game does not mean much. The biggest problem for the Cubs is the status of Imanaga, which could miss several weeks, even if it is only a slight load. Chicago already has his start -pitching depth by losing Justin Steele and Javier Assad, so these are undesirable news. It is good that the schedule illuminates a bit after this week, but that will make things more difficult in the future.
