The Cubs bounced back over the Brewers 8-2 on Saturday night. The big run total offered them the push they needed in the AL Central. Rookie right‑hander David Peterson took the mound for his first start. He kept the Brewers to two runs over six innings, struck out seven and walked one batter. The win moves the Cubs closer to a wild‑card spot as they aim for a .500 record. They are now fourth in the division, still three games back from the leader. Next up is Sunday’s game on the docket against the Cardinals. The team looks to keep the momentum going.
