Brewers Blank Cubs, Stay Hot in Central Race

The Milwaukee Brewers continue to brew up wins, blanking the Chicago Cubs 7-0 at Wrigley Field behind Freddy Peralta’s dominant one-hit performance. Peralta earned his MLB-leading 15th win, fanning six as Milwaukee improved to 79-45, extending their NL Central lead to nine games over the Cubs.

Brice Turang and Caleb Durbin both went yard, fueling an offense that kept the Cubs caged. For Chicago, the loss was their sixth in ten games, a stumble at a time when every step matters in the playoff chase.

Milwaukee has now won 15 of its last 16, proving their postseason push is anything but half-brewed.
