Overview

• Freddy Peralta allowed one hit over six scoreless innings for his MLB-leading 15th win as Milwaukee improved to an MLB-best 79-45 and stretched its NL Central lead to nine games.
• Brice Turang and Caleb Durbin each homered and drove in two, and three relievers closed out a two-hit shutout at Wrigley Field.
• The scheduled second game was postponed due to a forecast of inclement weather and will be made up Tuesday afternoon as part of a day-night doubleheader, with Matthew Boyd set to face Chad Patrick in the opener and Brandon Woodruff slated opposite a probable Jameson Taillon at night.
• Chicago’s slump persisted as Kyle Tucker went 0-for-4, and manager Craig Counsell said he will give the outfielder multiple days off to reset.
• Before the series, the Cubs recalled Luke Little, optioned Javier Assad and added Gavin Hollowell as the 27th man, and starter Cade Horton exited early with a blister on his right middle finger.
