Brewers 8, Cubs 7 (13):
Corey Hart hit a game-tying two-run homer in the ninth inning and added the decisive RBI single in the 13th to lift host Milwaukee.

Lendy Castillo (0-1), Chicago's eighth pitcher, set the winning rally in motion by hitting Rickie Weeks and Ryan Braun to open the inning.

Aramis Ramirez followed with a single into right field to load the bases for Hart, who chopped a grounded through an open hole at second base after the Cubs moved three infielders to the left of second base.

Hart broke a 12-game homerless streak with a two-run blast in the bottom of the ninth to send the game into extra innings for the Brewers, who beat Chicago for the ninth straight time at Miller Park.

David DeJesus clubbed his first career pinch-hit grand slam and drove in five runs for Chicago, which fell one game behind the Brewers for last place in the National League Central.

Jonathan Lucroy added a pinch-hit three-run double in the bottom of the seventh inning to put Milwaukee ahead after the Cubs had taken a 4-1 lead in the top of the frame.

The Cubs went ahead with a three-run ninth. DeJesus tied it with an RBI triple off Brewers closer John Axford, ending his streak of consecutive saves at 49 games. DeJesus scored on a wild pitch and Alfonso Soriano made it 7-5 with an RBI single.

Cubs closer Rafael Dolis couldn't preserve the lead, suffering his second blown save in five chances.
