<p>MILWAUKEE — Oh, sure. Why shouldn’t the <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/cubs" target="_blank" >Cubs</a> have loved their chances in the 10th inning Sunday just because the Brewers trailed 4-3 and had the bases loaded with nobody out against emergency call-up Jordan Wicks, he of the 15.63 ERA in two previous big-league appearances this season?</p><p>At that point, it was either Wicks or a bucket with an upside-down mop in it to stand tall atop the mound at American Family Field and face down the first-place Brewers, who already had scored two runs in the inning, the second on Wicks’ bases-loaded walk to the first batter he faced, Garrett Mitchell. Given the state of the Cubs’ injury-ravaged pitching staff, Wicks probably was the better way to go.</p><p>Just as the home fans began making more of a ruckus than the thousands upon thousands of Cubs fans on hand, Wicks dug in and retired Jake Bauers on a short fly and got Gary Sanchez to roll into a 5-4-3 double play.</p><p>Game over.
