Cubs starter Matthew Boyd (0-1) failed to get out of a six-run Milwaukee first inning. The Brewers added three runs in the second, batting around in each inning to go in front 9-1. Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio, who missed most of August with a strained right hamstring, was removed for a pinch runner after legging out an infield single in the second inning. The Brewers answered Busch’s homer with six runs off Boyd in the bottom of the first. Soroka allowed three runs on five hits in one inning, walking two in a 38-pitch outing.
