The Cubs (21-14) took two of three from the Brewers at Wrigley Field this weekend to move into a tie for first place in the National League Central. The big story in this series was the outstanding performance by the North Siders’ rotation, which allowed no earned runs in 18.1 innings pitched.
Chicago overcame offensive struggles and the continued spotty performance of the bullpen to win their fourth home series in five attempts (the only exception being a split of four with the Marlins). Now they face an opponent they have already played in 2024, as the Padres come to the Friendly Confines for three starting Monday.
