Bryan Hudson and Elvis Peguero (6-3) followed
with perfect innings before Jared Koenig worked into and out of
a bases-loaded jam in the eighth. Trevor Megill gave up a
single, but he stranded the tying run at second in the ninth to
earn his 20th save in 22 opportunities.
Jackson Chourio had two hits for Milwaukee, which has won three
of four coming out of the All-Star break.
Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon (7-5) allowed one run and four
hits in 7 1/3 innings. He struck out three and walked three.
Nico Hoerner and Dansby Swanson each had two hits for Chicago,
which won the series opener 3-1 on Monday night.
Taillon came back out for the eighth inning after throwing 88
pitches through seven and gave up a leadoff single to Jake
Bauers. Chourio then singled to center, but he was tagged out
trying for second as Bauers moved to third.
Julian Merryweather then replaced Taillon and struck out Garrett
Mitchell for the second out, but Brice Turang slapped a
ground-ball single up the middle to drive in Bauers for a 1-0
lead.
The Cubs left the bases loaded in the second, and Rea then
settled in and retired eight hitters in a row before Hoerner
doubled with two outs in the fifth. After a walk to Michael
Busch, Rea got Seiya Suzuki looking at a called third strike to
end the inning.
Mitchell beat out a bunt single to Cubs third baseman
Christopher Morel to start the sixth. Mitchell was initially
called out, but the call was overturned after a challenge by
Milwaukee. Mitchell stole second, and Turang's sacrifice bunt
got him to third. Morel then made a nice play on a hard ground
ball by William Contreras before throwing Mitchell out at the
plate for the second out.
Taillon retired the Brewers in order in the seventh.
