MILWAUKEE (AP) — 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.

The Brewers yesterday traded for catcher Danny Jansen, an Appleton West High alumnus whose family once housed a Timber Rattlers' rising star.

In a race as tight as the one for the National League Central title, the Milwaukee Brewers' job is clear: Just keep winning.

The rally began when Eric Haase’s bat died a hero, with the Brewers backup catcher’s duck snort landing just in front of a charging Dane Myers in center field. Brice Turang followed by cueing a double just inside the third-base bag, which the Marlins followed by intentionally walking Jackson Chourio to load the bases.

The Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs head into a three-game series at American Family Field tied for first place.

The Baltimore Orioles and Toronto Blue Jays will play two at Camden Parks on Tuesday, starting with an afternoon start for Game 1 of the doubleheader. The game is scheduled to start at 12:35 p.m. ET with TV coverage on MLB Network and streaming on-demand.

When the Brewers and Cubs played at the beginning of May, the Cubs were clearly the better team as they easily won the first two games of the series before the Brewers avoided a sweep by salvaging the third game.
