Overview
- Milwaukee beat Chicago 4-1 on Thursday behind Brice Turang’s two-run homer and Isaac Collins’ two insurance RBIs, restoring a seven-game division gap.
- Quinn Priester allowed one run over 4 1/3 innings before five relievers closed it out, with Trevor Megill recording his 30th save.
- Shōta Imanaga held the Brewers to three hits over seven innings, but the Cubs stranded 11 runners and went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position.
- The win followed Wednesday’s 4-3 loss in which three walks set up Michael Busch’s bases-clearing double, handing Jacob Misiorowski a three-run frame despite one hit allowed.
- Manager Pat Murphy publicly labeled Misiorowski’s outing “not good enough” and “mental,” then snapped at a reporter in a testy exchange after the game.
