    • Peralta shines, offense does just enough in Brewers’ 4-0 victory over Cubs
    Michael McLoone-Imagn Images Big hits from unlikely sources get Brewers over the line Box Score After two ugly losses to their biggest rival, the Brewers turned to their ace, Freddy Peralta, to stop their three-game skid. Peralta responded with six fabulous innings, followed by three more good ones from the bullpen, and Milwaukee’s struggling offense did just enough — and capitalized on Ch...2025

    Photo by John Fisher/Getty Images This was not a good Sunday for the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs lost to the Brewers 4-0 Sunday afternoon, but that’s not the story of the game. The story is the hamstring injury suffered by Shōta Imanaga, who had matched Freddy Peralta with zeroes until there were two out in the bottom of the sixth. Here’s the situation. The Brewers had runners on first and seco...2025

    Benny Sieu-Imagn Images The Cubs center fielder homered for the third time in the last two games. Pete Crow-Armstrong has had a strange road trip. In the five games played so far, PCA has four home runs. That’s really good! But... those are his only hits on the trip, giving him a weird slash line of .190/.190/.762 (4-for-21) over the five games. Also, he’s only struck out once on the trip....2025
