Brewers hit 3 HRs in 8-4 win over Cubs, take top spot in NL Central
MILWAUKEE — Andrew Vaughn, Sal Frelick and Christian Yelich homered and the Milwaukee Brewers overcame a shaky start from All-Star Jacob Misiorowski to beat the Chicago Cubs 8-4 on Monday night and take sole possession of first place in the NL Central. After allowing a bloop single and walk to begin the game, Misiorowski took a line shot off the bat of Seiya Suzuki to his left knee. The 23-year-old rookie struck out Pete Crow-Armstrong but threw a wild pitch in the process, allowing a run to score. Then, after fielding a dribbler in front of the mound, Misiorowski threw wildly to first as two runners scored.

Brewers hitting coach Al LeBoeuf returns to team after cancer surgery
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee Brewers hitting coach Al LeBoeuf has returned to the team after leaving earlier this month to have surgery for prostate cancer. LeBoeuf (leh-BUFF) is coaching in the majors for the first time this year. The Brewers named him lead hitting coach last October after he'd worked as a hitting coach in Triple-A the previous six seasons. 'We're happy he's back,' manager Pat Murphy said. 'Any time anybody goes through something like that, it's difficult. We kept in good contact and he was eager to be back and be part of it.' The Brewers have three hitting coaches on staff: LeBoeuf, Connor Dawson and Eric Theisen. LeBoeuf, 65, is in his 16th season in the Brewers' organization with many Milwaukee hitters having long ties with him that began as they worked their way through the minors, including leadoff hitter Sal Frelick. 'We love Buffy so much. I've been with him for the past four or five years now,' said Frelick, who was one of three Brewers players to hit home runs in an 8-4 win over the Chicago Cubs on Monday night. 'It was really tough losing him for a little bit. Everyone said their prayers and luckily he was able to have a good procedure and he's healing up quick. So happy to have him back.' ___ AP MLB: Rich Rovito, The Associated Press

Brewers hit 3 hrs in 8-4 win over cubs, take top spot in nl central
Andrew Vaughn, Sal Frelick, and Christian Yelich homered, and the Milwaukee Brewers overcame a shaky start from All-Star Jacob Misiorowski to beat the Chicago Cubs 8-4 on Monday night and take sole possession of first place in the NL Central. After allowing a bloop single and walk to begin the game, Misiorowski took a line shot off the bat of Seiya Suzuki to his left knee. The 23-year-old rookie struck out Pete Crow-Armstrong but threw a wild pitch in the process, allowing a run to score. Then, after fielding a dribbler in front of the mound, Misiorowski threw wildly to first as two runners scored. The Brewers stormed back with four runs off Matthew Boyd (11-4) in the third to take a 4-3 lead. Christian Yelich had an RBI double, Isaac Collins a two-run single, and Brice Turang a sacrifice fly. Vaughn hit a solo homer in the fifth, and Frelick hit another in the sixth to give the Brewers a 6-3 lead. After Kyle Tucker's run-scoring single in the seventh cut the margin to 6-4, Yelich hit a two-run shot to give the Brewers a four-run cushion. Misiorowski gave up three hits and three runs in four innings. He walked two and struck out seven while throwing 11 pitches of 100 mph or more. Trevor Megill got the last out with two runners on to notch his 24th save in 27 tries. Key moment: As Nico Hoerner scored on Tucker's single in the seventh, Michael Busch attempted to take third but was cut down by Chourio's throw to third baseman Caleb Durbin. Suzuki then struck out to end the inning, stranding Tucker at second. Key stat: Jackson Chourio went 0 for 3 with two walks, ending his career-high hitting streak at 20 games for the Brewers. Up next: Cubs RHP Colin Rea (8-4, 4.06 ERA) starts on Tuesday night against Brewers RHP Quinn Priester (9-2, 3.28).

Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick returns from injured list after dealing with hamstring issue
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick returned from the injured list Saturday after recovering from a left hamstring issue. Frelick was leading off and playing right field for the Brewers against the Miami Marlins. The Brewers made room for him by optioning infielder Tyler Black to Triple-A Nashville. The 25-year-old Frelick is batting .294 with a .354 on-base percentage, .404 slugging percentage, seven homers, 39 RBIs and 17 steals in 93 games. He went on the injured list after hurting his hamstring while making a sliding catch in the Brewers' last game before the All-Star break. 'What he brings to the table is special,' Brewers manager Pat Murphy said. Black, who turned 25 on Saturday, went 2 of 6 with a pair of walks and an RBI in three games with Milwaukee. He has batted .242 with a .359 on-base percentage, three homers, 22 RBIs and five steals in 34 minor league games. ___ AP MLB: The Associated Press
