Cubs Crush Brewers with 9 HRs | Milwaukee Brewers News

0:00It's September 2nd. Welcome in. This is Milwaukee Brewers News Today, where team coverage meets AI. The Chicago Cubs are coming off a massive win against their rivals, the Milwaukee Brewers. They absolutely crushed them, scoring 17 runs and hitting a franchise record nine home runs. The top of their lineup has been absolutely electric lately, and they'll need that energy to keep the momentum going. The team is sticking with a similar lineup for tonight's game against the Brewers' lefty pitcher. They're seeing a lot of success with this group, so it makes sense to keep it consistent. One interesting move is the immediate insertion of BJ Murray, a recent call-up, into the designated hitter spot. He's a switch hitter who's been productive in the minors. This is a big opportunity for Murray, who was drafted in 2021 and is considered a solid prospect. It's a bit unusual for the manager to put a new guy right into the starting lineup, but it shows they have confidence in his abilities and his abilities and his. Experience at the minor league level.

1:00On the pitching side, the Cubs are starting Matthew Boyd. He's coming off a strong performance where he shut down the Diamondbacks, giving up only one earn run. He'll be facing a Brewers lineup that's making some changes of their own, with Jackson Turio moving to the lead-off spot. The Brewers' pitcher, Robert Gasser, has had a bit of a rough season. While he's good at limiting hard hits and walks, he tends to let too many runners get on base. It'll be interesting to see if Boyd can continue his recent success and help the Cubs secure another victory.
