Chicago tied its first divisional series of the year at one apiece in Counsell’s first series against his former team. Brewers manager Pat Murphy also returned to the dugout after serving a two-game suspension
CHICAGO — Nico Hoerner hit his first career lead-off home run, Christopher Morel hit his third homer in as many games and Patrick Wisdom sent one into the stands as the Chicago Cubs beat the Milwaukee Brewers 6-5 on Saturday."Our offense has been a little quiet lately obviously," said Cubs manager Craig Counsell. "Christopher’s in a stretch right now. The homers, I think for most guys, come in bunches, and he’s had a good week.
"He’s been in every big spot, he’s had the bases loaded, he’s pitched on the road in tough spots, he’s pitched in the playoffs," Taillon said of Neris. "He’s confident, and there’s definitely no panic."Taillon gave up two hits and two walks while striking out seven over six innings. The righty has now allowed one earned run or fewer in four straight starts."He’s really in control and his command is excellent," Counsell said.
