CHICAGO -- Like many pitchers do right after they are promoted to the Major Leagues, Zach Davies found himself giving the hitters a little too much credit.
"I have," Davies said following the Brewers' 4-1 win over the Cubs on Wednesday. "Not through the entire start, but there are times where definitely it happened."
But not this time.
With a new aggressive mind-set, Davies, a 22-year-old making just his fifth start, allowed two hits in six shutout innings, and the Brewers snapped their nine-game losing streak to the Cubs.
"It was a great performance, and I think a real confidence-builder for him," manager Craig Counsell said.
