Second game of scheduled doubleheader between Brewers and Cubs postponed by inclement weather
CHICAGO (AP) — The second game of a scheduled doubleheader between the Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs was postponed Monday night due to thunderstorms in the area. It will be made up Tuesday afternoon as part of a day-night twinbill at Wrigley Field. Milwaukee opened the five-game series with a 7-0 victory Monday afternoon, thanks to six innings of one-hit ball from All-Star pitcher Freddy Peralta. Brice Turang and Caleb Durbin each hit a solo home run to lead the Brewers to their 23rd victory in 28 games. At 79-45, the Brewers have the best record in the majors. Milwaukee leads the second-place Cubs, who have lost six of 10, by nine games in the NL Central. Matthew Boyd (11-6, 2.46 ERA) is set to pitch the first game Tuesday for the Cubs, and Jameson Taillon (7-6, 4.44) is probable to start the nightcap after returning from the 15-day injured list Monday. Milwaukee right-hander Chad Patrick (3-7, 3.52 ERA) is scheduled to start the opener, with Brandon Woodruff (4-0, 2.06) slated to go in Game 2.

Cubs shut out by Brewers in early game before storms
Freddy Peralta allowed one hit in six innings for his major league-leading 15th win, and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Chicago Cubs 7-0 on Monday. Milwaukee won for the 15th time in 16 games and extended its NL Central lead to nine over the rival Cubs. The teams were scheduled to play a split doubleheader at Wrigley Field, but the nightcap was postponed due to a forecast of inclement weather. It will be made up Tuesday afternoon as the first game of a day-night twinbill. Peralta (15-5) struck out six as Milwaukee improved to an MLB-best 79-45. The Brewers, who had their franchise-record 14-game winning streak snapped by Cincinnati on Sunday, have won 23 of 28 since the All-Star break. Brice Turang and Caleb Durbin each had two hits, two RBIs and a solo home run to lead the offense. Milwaukee relievers Abner Uribe, Jared Koenig and Grant Anderson held Chicago to one hit over the final three innings. The Brewers jumped on Cubs starter Cade Horton (7-4) early. After Turang's homer in the third, Horton allowed three of the next four batters to reach base and was removed from the game with a blister on his right middle finger. Drew Pomeranz retired the ensuing batter to escape the inning with a one-run deficit. Chicago called up two pitchers Monday in Luke Little and Gavin Hollowell. Little's throwing error in the sixth allowed a run to score. Hollowell gave up four earned runs on four walks and two hits in the eighth. Down 1-0, the Cubs had an opportunity to take the lead in the fourth. Peralta walked three consecutive batters to load the bases with one out, but he struck out rookie Owen Caissie and retired Nico Hoerner to end the inning. Chicago managed only two hits and lost for the sixth time in 10 games. Matthew Boyd (11-6, 2.46 ERA) is set to pitch the first game Tuesday for the Cubs, and Jameson Taillon (7-6, 4.44) is probable to start the nightcap after returning from the 15-day injured list Monday. Milwaukee RHP Chad Patrick (3-7, 3.52 ERA) is scheduled to start the opener, with Brandon Woodruff (4-0, 2.06) slated to start Game 2.

Peralta allows 1 hit in 6 innings and Brewers beat Cubs
Freddy Peralta allowed one hit and struck out six batters and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Chicago Cubs 7-0. All-Star pitcher Peralta (15-5) shut Chicago out over six innings to help Milwaukee advance to an MLB-best record of 79-45. The Brewers, which had their franchise-record 14-game winning streak snapped by the Reds on Sunday, have won 23 of 28 games since the break. Brice Turang and Caleb Durbin each had two hits, two RBIs and a solo home run to lead the way. Milwaukee's Abner Uribe, Jared Koenig and Grant Anderson held Chicago to one combined hit over the final three innings of relief. The Brewers attacked Cubs pitcher Cade Horton (7-4) early. After Turang's homer in the third, Horton allowed three of the next four batters to reach base and was removed from the game with a blister on his right middle finger. Reliever Drew Pomeranz retired the ensuing batter to escape the inning with a one-run deficit. TIGERS 10, ASTROS 0 DETROIT (AP) — Jack Flaherty struck out nine batters in seven scoreless innings and Detroit went on to beat Houston Astros. Wenceel Pérez, Riley Greene, Trey Sweeney and Colt Keith homered for the Tigers, who were coming off a 5-2 road trip. Flaherty (7-12) allowed three hits and a walk to win for the second time in 12 starts. Former closer Alex Lange, who underwent lat surgery last season, pitched the ninth — his first MLB appearance since May 22, 2024. Spencer Arrighetti (1-4) gave up five runs on seven hits and four walks in five innings. PIRATES 5, BLUE JAYS 2 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Paul Skenes kept the American League's top team in relative check for six innings and Pittsburgh took advantage of some sloppy play by Toronto Blue to pull away for a victory. Skenes bounced back from a rare shaky performance in his previous start to limit the American League-leading Blue Jays to two runs over six innings. The burly 23-year-old struck out eight against one walk as his ERA ticked up to 2.16. Evan Sisk (1-1) picked up his first big league victory with a scoreless seventh. Dennis Santana worked the ninth for his eighth save as the Pirates won for just the second time in nine games. Henry Davis doubled off Yariel Rodríguez (2-1) leading off the seventh, and scored on a wild pitch by Brendon Little to put Pittsburgh in front to stay. Spencer Horwitz, a former Toronto first baseman, had two hits for the Pirates. PHILLIES 12, MARINERS 7 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Trea Turner had four hits, including his first home run at home this season, Bryce Harper homered twice and Philadelphia defeated Seattle. Turner hit a three-run homer off Seattle starter Logan Gilbert (3-5) as part of a six-run second inning. Turner also had two singles and a double for his fifth straight multihit game. He finished with five RBIs. Harper hit homers in back-to-back innings. His solo shot in the sixth marked the 11th time he's had 20 home runs in a season. An inning later, his two-run homer off the second deck made it his 30th multihomer game. J.T. Realmuto had three hits, including a home run, and the Phillies also got RBI hits from Kyle Schwarber, Max Kepler and Bryson Stott. All told, the Phillies got 21 hits. Ranger Suárez (9-6) matched a career high with 10 strikeouts to earn the win. He pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on four hits. ORIOLES 6, RED SOX 3 BOSTON (AP) — Trevor Rogers took a shutout into the seventh inning, and Gunnar Henderson had a solo homer and an RBI to lead Baltimore to a victory over Boston. Top Orioles prospect Samuel Basallo, who was the No. 8 prospect in all of baseball before he was called up for his major-league debut on Sunday, doubled off the Green Monster for his first extra-base hit and added a two-run single in the ninth. Ryan Mountcastle had three singles. Boston starter Dustin May (7-9) allowed two runs on eight hits and two walks, striking out five in six innings to lose for the second time in three starts since he was acquired by Boston from the Dodgers at the trade deadline. Boston cut it to 6-3 in the ninth on Jarren Duran's two-out, two-run double. But Yennier Cano got Ceddanne Rafaela to hit a broken-bat grounder to third for the final out. CARDINALS 8, MARLINS 3 MIAMI (AP) — Alec Burleson went 3 for 4, including the go-ahead single in the seventh inning, and St. Louis ended their five-game losing streak with a win against Miami. Miami right fielder Dane Myers was unable to make a routine catch at the warning track in the seventh, which put a runner in scoring position for the Cardinals. Burleson's RBI single sent Iván Herrera home for a 4-3 lead. St. Louis added another run on a single by Pedro Pagés. The Marlins were undone by two errors, three unearned runs, four wild pitches and five walks allowed.
