MILWAUKEE (AP) — Newly signed Jahmai Jones hit a pinch-hit, three-run double in his first big league appearance since 2021, helping the Milwaukee Brewers rally for an 8-6 win over the Chicago Cubs. With the bases loaded and two outs in the seventh inning, Jones hit a line drive on the first pitch from reliever Anthony Kay that one-hopped off the center field wall and scored Raimel Tapia, Christian Yelich and Owen Mill, tying the game at 6. Milwaukee signed the 25-year-old Jones as a free agent before the game. The Brewers completed their comeback from a six-run deficit in the eighth inning for their third straight win. Joel Payamps (3-1) pitched a perfect eighth for the win. The Cubs dropped their third straight game.
