The Chicago Cubs, at 29-19, currently are in first place in the National League Central Division. However, the Milwaukee Brewers, who have won the division in each of the past three years, drew to within half of game of the NL Central lead by beating the Cubs 9-3 on Monday night.

Jacob Misiorowski throws six shutout innings and the offense does just enough for the Brewers to beat the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

The Milwaukee Brewers have had plenty of success against Shota Imanaga.

Jacob Misiorowski threw six scoreless innings and Brice Turang homered as the Brewers beat the Cubs 5-2 Tuesday at Wrigley Field to move into first place in the NL Central.
