  • First pitch for Game 2 is 9:08 p.m. ET at American Family Field, with coverage on TBS and truTV and streaming options including HBO Max, Sling TV and DIRECTV.
  • Cubs left-hander Shōta Imanaga gets the start, while the Brewers deploy lefty Aaron Ashby as an opener with right-hander Quinn Priester expected to follow, according to pregame reports.
