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

• Cubs 6, Brewers 2: Pete Crow-Armstrong does it again

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
