The Cubs had a chance to secure the NL Central Division title Thursday night at Wrigley Field as Mike Montgomery continued to make a case for a bigger role on the 2017 team with a start. Familiar foe Jimmy Nelson manned the bump for Milwaukee.
The Cubs jumped on a Brewer mistake in the bottom of the 2nd to take an early lead.
