On Wednesday night, the Cubs defeated the Brewers in a crucial matchup of National League Central teams. The 6-4 victory aided the Cubs greatly, considering they had lost two straight to Milwaukee. The Brewers were a mere three games back of the Cubs as of Wednesday morning.
Daniel Murphy, who had yet to get in a hit in the Brewers series, went 3-for-4, which included a home run in the 4th inning to make it 1-0 Cubs.
The bats were certainly alive in this one, as Chicago finished with 13 hits, including an additional home run ball from Schwarber, his 25th of the year.
