The offense continued their hot hitting, Eric Lauer provided another fantastic performance on the mound, and the Brewers defeated the Cubs 9-1 on Saturday night to secure a series win.
Last week, Lauer took a tough no-decision in a 13-strikeout gem against the Phillies, but that was not the case tonight. The southpaw notched double-digit strikeouts for the second straight outing, punching out 11 Cubs in seven innings of one-run ball.
The Brewers starter scattered five hits and issued just one walk, with the only Cubs run coming on a solo home run by catcher Yan Gomes in the second inning.
