Zach Davies stifles Cubs, Josh Hader records final 8 outs in 4-2 Brewers win

W: Zach Davies (1-0)
L: Kyle Hendricks (0-2)
SV: Josh Hader (5)
HR: MIL - Christian Yelich (5), CHC - Willson Contreras (3)

After two days of slugfests, this was a pretty welcome sight.

The Brewers only needed three pitchers to beat the Cubs, 4-2, with Zach Davies turning in one of the best starts from a Brewers pitcher so far this year and Josh Hader picking up the final 8 outs of the game for his 5th save of the young season.

Davies gave up a leadoff single to Ben Zobrist on a dribbler that somehow snuck through the infield to start the game, and it felt like it might be another baserunner-heavy game between these two teams.
