Brewers complete sweep of doubleheader over Cubs, win 3-1
The Brewers completed a doubleheader sweep of the Cubs Monday night, powered by two more homers and a masterful six innings from Aaron Ashby that included 12 strikeouts.
Ashby gave up five hits and walked two on the night, with his only true error being a home run off the bat of Willson Contreras. He also got his first career win after starting the season 0-3 despite an ERA of just 2.91 entering the game.
The Brewers struck first in the top of the fourth after being held hitless through three, as Tyrone Taylor walked and then scored on a Rowdy Tellez double. The Cubs answered right back on the Contreras home run in the bottom of the inning, but that’s the only offense they would get.
