Brewers OF Braun (ribcage) departs contest

Milwaukee Brewers left fielder Ryan Braun left Wednesday afternoon's game with the Chicago Cubs in the fifth inning with what the club announced as right ribcage tightness.

Braun, who hit two home runs in Milwaukee's 7-0 win over the Cubs on Tuesday, apparently suffered the injury while attempting to make a sliding catch of Jason Heyward's RBI double in the third inning. Braun batted in the fourth inning but bunted out softly to pitcher Kyle Hendricks.

Hernan Perez pinch-hit for Braun in the fifth.

Chicago leads the Brewers 7-2 after six innings.
