Game Summary
Chicago Cubs defeated Milwaukee Brewers 2-1. The Cubs prevailed thanks to Pete Crow-Armstrong’s two-run homer in the third and strong work from Kevin Gausman, who pitched seven innings, allowed five hits and one run while striking out nine. Crow-Armstrong finished 1-for-4 with the homer and two RBIs. Milwaukee’s Andrew Vaughn hit a solo shot in the fourth but the Brewers could not break through again against Gausman and Chicago’s bullpen. Relievers Ryan Zeferjahn and Ryan Rolison held Milwaukee scoreless over the final two innings, with Rolison recording the save. Logan Henderson took the loss after seven innings, allowing two runs with seven strikeouts.
