Game blog for the April 5 matchup the Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago CubsFollow along on Twitter - https://twitter.com/SportsmanHunterStarting pitchers - Milwaukee Brewers: Brent Suter --- Chicago Cubs: Jon Lester
Takeaways:
- Dreadful night for Milwaukee and a breakout game from a Cubs' offense that had a slow start to the year
- Milwaukee starting pitching continues to struggle (Suter 5IP, 8 hits, 5 runs (4 earned), 3BB, 5K)
- Brewers post just 4 hits, 3 of which came from Aguilar. Crew strikes out 11 times (2 each from Domingo Santana, Perez and Arcia)
- Milwaukee shutout for second straight game for first time since August of 2015
- Lester bounced back from an awful Opening Day start and looked like the ace he typically is
- Cubs rack up 13 hits and draw four walks
- Brewers' closer Corey Knebel leaves with apparent left leg injury (looked serious and would be big blow to team if he missed a lot of time)
Game two of the series is scheduled for a 7:10 p.m. start on Friday
