The Chicago Cubs completed an impressive opening-weekend series win with a 9-1 win over Milwaukee Sunday.
Tyler Chatwood held the Brewers to three hits in six innings, striking out eight and walking just two batters. Freddy Peralta absorbed the loss for manager Craig Counsell, surrendering four runs on three hits in just three innings.
Lefty Eric Lauer has been reinstated to the Brewers roster after a COVID-19 scare. Milwaukee sends right-hander Adrian Houser to the mound against the Pittsburgh Pirates at P-N-C Park today (Monday) as the Brewers continue the season-starting road trip.
While the Brewers were losing two-out-of-three to the Cubs, the Pirates were dropping two-out-of-three to the Cardinals.
