What We Learned: Swept in Chicago, coming back home

Yesterday's Results

Cubs 7, Brewers 2

It wasn't a no-hitter, but Jake Arrieta kept the Brewers down. He only allowed a single run in five innings, but it's more than he's allowed in a start at home since July of last year. Meanwhile, Taylor Jungmann struggled again with five earned runs in 3.2 innings pitched. Alex Presley drove in both of the Brewers runs, Jonathan Villar had a three hit day, and Jonathan Lucroy had a three walk day.
