"The Brewers couldn't capitalize on their first chance to close out the Cubs, as they dropped a 4-3 contest at Wrigley Field this evening. Chicago put up a four spot against Quinn Priester in the first inning, building a 4-1 cushion from which the Milwaukee bats couldn't recover. Priester didn't make it out of the first. Manager Pat Murphy used five pitchers - , Jose Quintana, Grant Anderson, Jared Koenig and Chad Patrick - to combine for 7 1/3 scoreless frames out of the bullpen."
"Neither Milwaukee nor the Cubs have announced a starter for tomorrow's game, though ESPN's Jesse Rogers reports that Chicago will give the ball back to Matthew Boyd. The Brewers pummeled Boyd for six runs in the first inning in Game 1 and cruised to a victory behind Freddy Peralta. Milwaukee could turn back to Peralta on four days rest for the same matchup, though Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel notes that they've worked to provide their starters with an extra rest day when possible during the season."
The Brewers lost 4-3 at Wrigley Field after Chicago scored four runs in the first inning off Quinn Priester. Priester failed to record an out, and Milwaukee used five relievers — Jose Quintana, Grant Anderson, Jared Koenig and Chad Patrick — to combine for 7 1/3 scoreless innings. Neither team has named a starter for tomorrow, though Chicago is expected to start Matthew Boyd. Milwaukee could use Freddy Peralta on four days' rest or opt for another bullpen game. Aaron Ashby allowed a three-run homer in Game 2, and Jackson Chourio played eight innings while managing a right hamstring issue.
