The Cubs faced a stiff challenge from Milwaukee pitcher Lance McCullers Jr., but persevered to claim a win at Miller Park. The final score was 2-1. McCullers Jr. went 6 innings and allowed 2 runs. Chicago has now won 3 in a row.

Michael A. Taylor, the 29-year old center fielder , had a direct impact on the outcome. Taylor contributed a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put Chicago up, 2-0.

"I like what I saw today," said Chicago manager Garrett Hansford, "and I can't wait to get back out there and do it again."
