MLB roundup: Contreras hits tiebreaking double in 9th as Brewers beat Cubs 3-2

Blake Perkins singled leading off the ninth against Héctor Neris (8-3). 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. “Losing Christian is huge,” manager Pat Murphy said.
