MILWAUKEE — Chicago Cubs rookie right-hander Ben Brown held Milwaukee without a hit through the first seven innings before the Brewers' Sal Frelick delivered a one-out single up the middle off reliever Hayden Wesneski in the eighth. Brown threw 93 pitches and recorded 10 strikeouts — both career highs — while making his 13th career appearance and sixth start. The only base runners he allowed came on a pair of fifth-inning walks. Wesneski struck out Joey Ortiz to open the eighth before Frelick came through. The Cubs lead the game 1-0.
