The Milwaukee Brewers did themselves no favors in the first inning of their 15-7 win over the rival Chicago Cubs on Thursday, earning them a sweep. Aaron Ashby had troubles on the mound through his 0.2 innings and Milwaukee gave up seven runs in the top half of the first. Milwaukee scored a run in the bottom half and then five in the next inning, highlighted by an Omar Narvaez two-run homer to make it a 7-6 ballgame after two complete. 

In the bottom of the fourth inning, the Brewers exploded for eight runs with much credit to Willy Adames who hit a grand slam. Luis Urias hit his second shot of the day in the sixth inning. His second was a solo home run. Milwaukee took three games over Chicago and will play Pittsburgh on Thursday at home, starting at 6:05 PM.
