The Cubs had a home run frenzy in the bottom of the 5th inning off Milwaukee Brewers pitchers Tyler Cravy and Corey Knebel, hitting a total of three home runs in four at-bats, starting with outfielder Dexter Fowler.
With one out and Addison Russell on second, Fowler hit his 12th home run of the season, but it was originally ruled a double.
