MILWAUKEE — Eleven people were injured Saturday when an escalator malfunctioned at American Family Field in Milwaukee after the Chicago Cubs beat the Brewers, a team official said.

Six people were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries and five others were treated at the ballpark, according to Tyler Barnes, the senior vice president of communications and affiliate operations for the Brewers.

The escalator’s malfunction resulted “in an increased downward speed,” Barnes said in a statement. Other details were not immediately available.

The Cubs’ 5-3 victory ended the Brewers’ winning streak at five games.
