The Milwaukee Brewers failed to get anything going offensively as they fell 5-0 to the Chicago Cubs today at Wrigley Field. Their ace, Freddy Peralta, labored through five stressful innings and kept Milwaukee in the game, but ultimately the Brewers’ inability to get hits in big moments cost them. On the other side, Cubs starter Javier Assad wasn’t untouchable but he did just enough to keep the Brewers off the board.
Milwaukee nearly got out to an early lead in the top of the first. After a one-out double, William Contreras advanced to third on a Tyler Black groundout.
