					| Cubs Sink Brewers, 6-4 |  
					| The Chicago Cubs picked up a win at Wrigley Field, knocking off the Milwaukee Brewers, 6-4. Starting pitcher Nicolai Volnov played a key role in the triumph. The Cubs improve their record to 53-74 with the win over Milwaukee. 
 Had Gabriel Cruz not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Cruz hit a 2-run single. That made the score 6-4, in favor of the Cubs.
 
 "We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Volnov.
