The Milwaukee Brewers have built a slim lead atop the National League Central largely without right-hander Brandon Woodruff.
With Woodruff back from a lengthy stay on the injured list, the Brewers need the veteran to contribute as they'd hoped.
"I thought it was a good first step for Woody for sure," Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. "I think there's a lot to be happy about. It probably wasn't midseason form with some small things, but he felt good. He got good results." Milwaukee topped Chicago 7-6 in 10 innings in Friday's series opener after rallying from a 5-2 deficit. The Brewers have played extra innings in three straight games and four of their past six, going 4-2 during that span.
