CHICAGO -- "We sent the bats to chapel," Brewers manager Craig Counsell announced Sunday morning, hoping a little religion might help. He was joking, but the idea sounded as good as any after a 2-0 loss to the Cubs completed Chicago's dominating four-game series sweep.
Tyler Chatwood delivered the tie-breaking single off Brewers starter Zach Davies and pitched seven scoreless innings, combining with Carl Edwards Jr. and Brandon Morrow to blank the Brewers at Wrigley Field. It was the Cubs' third shutout victory in the series, and their fifth shutout of the Brewers in eight games this season.
