Christian Yelich and Mark Canha homered during Milwaukee’s four-run first inning, and the Brewers beat the Chicago Cubs 6-2 on Monday night for their ninth consecutive victory.
Wade Miley pitched six effective innings as Milwaukee increased its NL Central lead to five games over second-place Chicago. It’s the longest win streak for the Brewers since an 11-game run in 2021.
Yelich drove Taillon’s third pitch to left-center for his 17th homer. It was Yelich’s fifth leadoff homer of the season and No. 9 for his career. Milwaukee added another run in the second when Yelich singled, advanced to second on second baseman Nico Hoerner’s throwing error and scored on William Contreras’ single to left.
Wisdom trimmed Milwaukee’s lead to 5-2 with his 21st homer in the fifth, but Adames responded with a two-out RBI double off Drew Smyly in the seventh.
