<p>MILWAUKEE — No one is walking through the Cubs’ clubhouse door to save their bullpen. Not Randy Myers, Rod Beck, Carlos Marmol or Lee Smith. Certainly not anyone from Triple-A Iowa, according to manager Craig Counsell.</p><p>“The answers are not there,” he said. “These are our guys. They’re the guys we’re going to rely on. We’ve got to figure it out.”</p><p>That has been easier said than done this series against the Brewers. After Carson Kelly hit a go-ahead two-run double in the ninth inning Tuesday night at American Family Field, closer Jacob Webb gave it back in the bottom half of the inning, allowing a two-out, two-run homer to the Brewers’ Jackson Chourio. Caleb Thielbar lost it in the 10th on Luis Lara’s bases-loaded single, and the Cubs lost 4-3 to fall nine games back of the Brewers.</p><p>The bigger issue is in the National League wild-card race, where the Cubs (81-56) now trail the Phillies by a half-game for the top spot and lead the surging Diamondbacks by only three games.</p><p>Since going 24 outings without allowing a run, Webb has allowed nine runs in his last six. He has blown three saves in that span, the first two on two-out, walk-off homers. At least here, only one runner was on base.</p><p>“I’m tired of letting the team down, to be completely honest,” Webb said. “It’s pretty tough to watch every time I give up a homer.”</p><p>Said Counsell: “It’s the one thing that can’t happen there. Unfortunately, it happened.”</p><p>Webb began the ninth by fanning Joey Ortiz. Garrett Mitchell then lined out to center field. But Webb allowed a line-drive single by pinch hitter Christian Yelich before Chourio smashed an 0-1 changeup into the left-field seats.</p><p>“It comes down to location, execution,” Webb said. “I’m not doing that currently.”</p><p>Counsell noted: “He’s made some bad pitches with his off-speed. It’s been the off-speed to right-handed hitters.”</p><p>Thielbar, who has struggled for much of the season, began the 10th by striking out Jake Bauers. After intentionally walking Willson Contreras, he allowed a single that fell between left fielder Matt Shaw and shortstop Nico Hoerner and another to Lara.</p><p>Perhaps Ian Happ would have gotten to that ball if he were still in the game. He fouled a pitch off his foot and had to leave, prompting Counsell to move Shaw from second to left, where he had played only twice this season.</p><p>The Cubs’ bullpen had done the job until the ninth. Trent Thornton, Aaron Civale and Ryan Rolison combined for 3⅔ scoreless innings after David Peterson allowed one run in 4⅓. Brewers phenom Jacob Misiorowski allowed one run in 6 ⅓ innings, and the game stayed 1-1 until Kelly’s hit against closer Trevor Megill.</p><p>“Carson had an incredible at-bat to give us the lead,” Counsell said. “And then we made a bad pitch with a man on base.”</p><p>By the sound of it, Webb will have a chance to redeem himself — again.</p><p>“I think we’re going to get back on track,” he said. “I have confidence in myself.”</p><p></p><p><b>NOTES: </b>Cubs star <b>Pete Crow-Armstrong</b> snapped his hitless streak against <b>Jacob Misiorowski</b>. With only two walks in his first 17 career plate appearances against “The Miz,” he singled in No. 18. He has struck out against Misiorowski nine times.</p><p>• <b>Craig Counsell</b> said shortstop <b>Dansby Swanson</b> (oblique) will have “some kind of game action, we think, during the Atlanta series” next week. That means Swanson could have a rehab assignment at Iowa or play in a simulated game. He could return during the series in Cincinnati that follows.</p><p>• Right-hander <b>Shelby Miller</b> (elbow) and left-hander <b>Justin Steele</b> (elbow) were scheduled to pitch Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, at Triple-A Iowa. Righties <b>Gavin Hollowell </b>(shoulder) and <b>Edward Cabrera </b>(finger blister) saw their outings Tuesday at Iowa rained out.</p>
