Cubs defeat Brewers 2-1 as Pete Crow-Armstrong hits decisive homer

The Chicago Cubs defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1 in the finale of a four-game series at Wrigley Field on Wednesday. Pete Crow-Armstrong hit a two-run home run in the third inning off Milwaukee starter Logan Henderson to provide the deciding runs. Henderson allowed three hits and struck out seven over seven innings of work but received little support from the Brewers' offense. Andrew Vaughn provided the lone run for Milwaukee with a solo home run in the fourth inning. Chicago starter Kevin Gausman matched Henderson throughout the outing to secure the win for the Cubs. The Brewers remain eight games ahead in the division with 21 games remaining in their regular season schedule. Milwaukee travels to Cincinnati for a three-game series against the Reds beginning tomorrow, while the Cubs prepare for a return engagement against the Brewers in Milwaukee on Monday.
