MILWAUKEE -- Cubs manager Joe Maddon tried to downplay the start of a three-game series against the Brewers, saying it was just another Monday in June. Instead, it felt a little like October baseball.
Jason Heyward hit a game-tying RBI single off Josh Hader in the eighth inning and Anthony Rizzo smacked a game-winning leadoff homer to spark a five-run 11th and lift the Cubs to a 7-2 victory over the Brewers at Miller Park. With the win, the Cubs moved into first place in the National League Central for the first time since May 1.
