Christopher Morel delivered a walk-off sacrifice fly in the 10th
inning to give Chicago a victory over visiting Milwaukee.
After the Brewers' Jace Peterson was thrown out at the plate by
Chicago second baseman Nick Madrigal in the top of the 10th, Morel
flied out deep enough to left field off Hoby Milner (2-1) to knock
in the winning run.
Making his major league debut, the Brewers' Jason Alexander endured
a rough first inning, when he issued all three of his walks and
