Overview

• Milwaukee became the first MLB team to 80 victories at 80-48, restoring a seven-game NL Central lead and halting a three-game skid.
• Six pitchers combined on a five-hitter, with Trevor Megill closing for his 30th save and Nick Mears earning the win after a key fifth-inning stop.
• Starter Quinn Priester lasted 4 1/3 innings with five walks, yet the Brewers are 15-0 in games he has pitched since May 30.
• Brice Turang opened the scoring with a two-run homer and is batting .368 with eight homers and 20 RBIs in 19 August games, while Isaac Collins added a two-run single in the eighth.
• Chicago took the five-game set 3-2 and clinched the season series tiebreaker 7-6, as Milwaukee managed injuries with Joey Ortiz placed on the IL for a left hamstring strain.
