The Milwaukee Brewers added insult to injury in its 10-0 win over the Chicago Cubs Wednesday night to sweep their division rivals.
The game was over before the Cubs even stepped into the batter's box with a seven-run first inning. Christian Yelich, Omar Narvaez, Tyrone Taylor, Lorenzo Cain, and Kolten Wong all had RBI hits in the inning. Narvaez would add three more RBI for insurance for the Brewers with a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning and a two-run homer in the ninth.
Corbin Burnes was on cruise control the whole game, pitching eight innings of four-hit ball and 15 strikeouts. That includes a stretch between the second and fifth innings where he struck out 10 consecutive Cubs hitters. He joins Tom Seaver and Aaron Nola with that distinction.
The Brewers go for the four-game sweep of their division rivals at 1:20 p.m. Thursday.
