The Cubs came out on top over the Brewers 8-2 on Saturday night. The big run total gave them the push they needed in the AL Central. Rookie right‑hander David Peterson made his debut for his first start. He kept the Brewers to two runs over six innings, recorded seven strikeouts and walked one batter. The win pushes the Cubs closer to a wild‑card spot as they try to reach a .500 record. They are now fourth in the division, still presently three games back from the leader. Next up is Sunday’s game on the docket against the Cardinals. The team aims to keep the momentum alive.
