The Brewers just narrowly had their winning streak ended in the finale against the Reds on Saturday. The Brewers nearly got shutout, but nearly won the game in regulation as well. Milwaukee was down 1-0 going into the ninth inning, but the Brewers gained the lead with a two-run homer by William Contreras. The Reds would go on to tie the game in the bottom of the inning, and win it in the 10th on a RBI single from DH Austin Hays on a walkoff. The Brewers will start Freddy Peralta for the first game of this double header. The righty is having a phenomenal season with a 14-5 record and a 2.90 ERA.

The Cubs are coming off a win also, beating the Pittsburgh Pirates in the rubber match on Sunday by a 4-3 final. Dansby Swanson helped Chicago win the game, driving in the go-ahead run in the eighth on a sac fly. The Cubs may have slid in the NL Central standings, but they are still looking pretty for the Wild Card race. Chicago holds the top NL Wild Card spot by 4.5 games. Chicago will start Cade Horton for the opener, who is 7-3 with a 3.07 ERA.
