Following a 10-4 home loss to Cleveland on Friday, the Cubs looked to get back on track behind Shelby Miller, who was making his second appearance for the Northsiders. Miller allowed one run on an Orlando Arcia RBI single in the 2nd inning, but secured the victory thanks to Joc Pederson‘s go-ahead two-run blast in the 3rd (box score).
Why the Cubs Won
The Cubs capitalized on uncharacteristically shoddy Brewers defense. Arcia and Keston Hiura, who were playing out of their customary positions to accommodate new acquisition Kolten Wong, combined for three errors.
