Brewers Bounce Back with Decisive Win Over Cubs in Divisional Clash
29 Jul
Summary
- Brewers win 8-4 over Cubs in first of three-game series
- Priester, Brewers' top trade acquisition, to start for Milwaukee
- Rea, former Brewer, takes the mound for Cubs
In a crucial divisional clash, the Milwaukee Brewers secured a satisfying 8-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs in the first of a three-game series. The Brewers, who entered the series tied with the Cubs for the best record in the National League, fell behind early but their offense came alive after a sluggish series against the Marlins.
Tonight, the Cubs will look to even the series with the help of former Brewer Colin Rea on the mound. Meanwhile, one of the Brewers' most consequential trade acquisitions this season, Quinn Priester, will take the hill for the home team. Priester has been fantastic so far, posting a 9-2 record and a 3.28 ERA, and he'll look to continue his strong performance against the Cubs.
As trade rumors swirl around the league, the Brewers and Cubs will battle it out in this important series between division rivals. The Brewers' victory last night has set the stage for an exciting matchup tonight as both teams look to gain an edge in the tight National League race.
