After an 85-minute rain delay, the Milwaukee Brewers shut out the Chicago Cubs in a 1-0 pitcher’s duel at Wrigley Field. Brewer Bryce Turange’s RBI single in the eighth inning was the difference and the only run scored in the game.
Five Milwaukee pitchers teamed up for the shutout, with Colin Rea going the first five innings and allowing only four hits while striking out eight. Elvis Peguero (6-3) pitched a scoreless seventh inning to get the win, and Trevor Megill closed out the game in the ninth to pick up his 20th save for the season.
Jackson Chourio continued his hot hitting, going two-for-four for the Brewers.
Milwaukee (58-43) and Chicago (49-54) will play the rubber game of the series Wednesday afternoon. Justin Steele will pitch for the Cubs, and the Brewers are still determining a starter.
