Brewers 6, Cubs 1

Chicago — Mike Fiers pitching at Wrigley Field has come to mean great things for the Milwaukee Brewers.

Fiers turned in his second terrific start in as many turns at the Friendly Confines on a sunny Saturday afternoon, striking out a season-high 12 and allowing just three hits to lead the Brewers past the Chicago Cubs, 6-1.

The right-hander also walked two, issuing both in the first inning, and made just one major mistake in his 100-pitch outing by allowing a sixth-inning home run to Anthony Rizzo.
