Cubs Crush Brewers 10-0, Busch Hits Grand Slam

MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Chicago Cubs dominated the Milwaukee Brewers Friday, shutting them out 10-0 in their first meeting of the season. Michael Busch shined with his first career grand slam during a powerful second inning.

Busch, batting clean-up, sent a pitch deep into the stands, igniting the offense. He was joined by teammate Pete Crow-Armstrong, who hit two solo home runs during the game. The Cubs scored two runs in the first inning, then followed up with an explosive seven-run second, putting the game out of reach early.

“It felt great to help my team like that, especially against a strong rival like the Brewers,” Busch said after the game. His performance made a significant impact as the Cubs look to maintain their lead in the NL Central.

Cubs pitcher Ben Brown excelled on the mound, striking out four batters and allowing only four hits in six innings. Brown’s performance was crucial in keeping the Brewers scoreless. The Brewers have now been shut out in two consecutive games.

The win highlights the Cubs’ rise in the early baseball season as they continue to strive for their first division title since 2016. With this victory, they solidified their position, creating anticipation for future matchups with Milwaukee.

The Cubs look to build on this momentum as they head into the next stretch of games.
