Brewers Aim for Series Win Against Cubs with Strong Bullpen Performance
The Milwaukee Brewers, currently at the top of the National League Central with a record of 87-53, are set to conclude their four-game series against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. The Brewers have won two consecutive games, including a 9-5 victory on Wednesday, which increased their lead over the Cubs, who hold a record of 78-62, to nine games.
In the recent match, Jackson Chourio contributed significantly with four hits, including his 21st home run. Despite a challenging outing from starting pitcher Jacob Misiorowski, who allowed five earned runs, the Brewers' bullpen excelled, delivering five shutout innings with only one hit allowed.
On the other hand, the Cubs have struggled, losing six of their last eight games. Manager Craig Counsell noted the need for improvement in their bullpen, particularly mentioning Daniel Palencia's recent performance. The final game of the series will feature Brewers' Logan Henderson and Cubs' Kevin Gausman as the starting pitchers.
