The Cubs came out on top over the Brewers 8-2 on Saturday night. The big run total provided them the push they needed in the AL Central. Rookie right‑hander David Peterson started on the hill for his first start. He kept the Brewers to two runs over six innings, struck out seven and issued a single walk. The win moves the Cubs closer to a wild‑card spot as they strive toward a .500 record. They are now fourth in the division, still presently three games back from the leader. Next up is Sunday’s game on the roster against the Cardinals. The team looks to keep the momentum alive.
