Cubs 2, Brewers 0: Happy birthday, Marcus Stroman!

Now that’s more like it!

Marcus Stroman turned 31 Sunday and turned in his best start as a Cub. He threw seven outstanding innings, allowing two hits and a walk and was helped out by two double plays. The Cubs didn’t put a lot on the board behind him, but it was enough for a 2-0 victory, salvaging the final game of the series and ending a three-game losing streak. The Cubs have now split six games with the Brewers this year, which is a perfectly reasonable result.

While Stroman was going along strong early, Corbin Burnes was even better early on.
