Josh Hader dominates again as Brewers gain on Cubs

If the Milwaukee Brewers go on to win the National League Central, remember the two innings Josh Hader threw against the Cubs on Monday night.

Hader came in to protect a 3-2 lead, faced six batters over two innings, threw 24 pitches ... and fanned all six batters. Jeremy Jeffress pitched the ninth inning for the save -- striking out pinch-hitter Tommy La Stella with the tying run on second base to end it -- and the Brewers trimmed the Cubs' lead in the division to just one game. You could see the emotion in the victory after the final out when Lorenzo Cain turned around to the Cubs fans in the bleachers and raised his fist in triumph.
