The Chicago Cubs secured a 3-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers, ending the Brewers' three-game winning streak. Ian Happ hit a solo homer, and Michael Busch contributed with an RBI single. Cubs' pitchers, including starter Javier Assad and five relievers, managed to hold the Brewers to just one run. Milwaukee struggled to capitalize on opportunities, stranding bases loaded multiple times despite Assad's six walks. Willy Adames hit a solo homer for the Brewers in the eighth inning. Meanwhile, the Cubs activated pitcher Julian Merryweather from the injured list and made several roster moves to bolster their lineup.
