The Cubs and Brewers met in the front end of a day-night doubleheader on a hot Monday afternoon at Wrigley Field. Chicago’s bats remained silent and the road team came away with a shutout victory.
Milwaukee went ahead when Brice Turang hit a solo homer off of Cade Horton in the top of the 3rd. Later in that frame, Horton appeared to struggle with a blister on his finger and was forced to come out of the game after just 61 pitches.
Caleb Durbin hit the Brewers second solo dinger in the 5th to make it 2-0.
