The Brewers had a chance to extend their NL Central lead with the Cubs taking the day off. They took full advantage behind Tyrone Taylor, whose back-to-back doubles and excellent slide put the Brewers ahead in a 4-2 win.
Adrian Houser returned from the injured list to make the start today. He started out behind as the Marlins manufactured a run in the first. Luis Arraez doubled, Jake Burger singled, and Jesus Sanchez hit a sacrifice fly to give the Marlins an early 1-0 lead.
From there, both starters kept the offenses in check until the fourth inning.
