Ethan Small’s big-league debut was a mixed bag, but the Brewers offense hit three home runs to secure a 7-6 comeback win in the first game of Monday’s doubleheader.
Milwaukee’s top pitching prospect started strong, inducing eight swings and misses and striking out four Cubs over his first two innings. Meanwhile, Jace Peterson put the Brewers on the board first with a solo blast to right field. It was the fifth home run of the year for Peterson, who has left the yard two days in a row.
Unfortunately, things went sideways for Small in the third.
