(LEARFIELD) – Milwaukee managed just one run in a 2‑1 loss to Chicago Thursday night at Wrigleyi Field, splitting the four‑game set.
Logan Henderson was sharp again — seven innings, seven strikeouts — but Pete Crow‑Armstrong’s two‑run home run in the third held up as the difference.
Andrew Vaughn’s solo homer in the fourth was the Brewers’ only offense, and Milwaukee stranded runners in the fifth and sixth as Kevin Gausman matched Henderson through seven.
The top 4 batters in the Brewers lineup – Jackson Chourio, Brice Turang, William Contreras and Jake Bauers – went a combined 0-for-15.
The Brewers stay eight games up on the Cubs in the National League Central Division with 21 to play.
