CHICAGO, WI (WSAU) – Willy Adames scored twice and Christian Yelich recorded two hits and an RBI to lead the Brewers to a 5-4 win over the Cubs on Sunday.
Rowdy Tellez added two RBI and a run scored as well on a 1-3 day at the plate.
The Brewers did most of their damage after the 5th inning when the Cubs lifted Marcus Stroman for Jesse Chavez who gave up two hits and three earned runs in just two outs of work. Daniel Norris was then called upon to finish the 6th and pitch through the 7th; he allowed one hit and one earned run in that 1.1 inning of work.
Freddy Peralta did not factor in the decision for the Brewers after throwing four innings. Brad Boxberger earned the win in relief, Josh Hader struck out two in the 9th for his first save of the season.
Milwaukee improves to 1-2 on the season following the rain-shortened opening set with the Cubs. They’ll cross over to the American League on Monday to play a three-game set with the Baltimore Orioles.
Today’s game will be the O’s home opener.
Catch the action on WNFL. Pregame at 1:30 PM, 1st pitch at 2:05 PM.
