With Milwaukee two and a half games ahead of the Cubs for the top spot in the Central entering tonight’s game, Brewers fans were happy to see Corbin Burnes on the mound facing Michael Kopech. With the White Sox struggling and the Brewers looking to gain a postseason bid, games in August and September are important down the stretch.
Milwaukee got on the board early, when William Contreras singled to center that scored Yelich who led the game off with a walk. Chicago would respond in the bottom half of the first when Yoan Moncada hit an infield single to score Benintendi, and Grandal hit a sacrifice fly to score Jimenez, giving the Sox a 2-1 lead.
