CHICAGO (AP) — Javier Assad pitched six sparkling innings, and the Chicago Cubs beat Freddy Peralta and the Milwaukee Brewers 5-0 on Sunday in the rubber game of their weekend set.
Assad (3-0) allowed four hits, struck out four and walked three, lowering his ERA to 1.66. The right-hander has permitted two or fewer runs in each of his seven starts this season.
“He’s just got weapons that just don’t let the hitter get comfortable ever,” Cubs manager Craig Counsell said.
Chicago posted two straight wins against Milwaukee after losing 3-1 on Friday. The starting pitchers for the Cubs combined for 18 1/3 scoreless innings in the series, allowing a total of nine hits.
“We have a great group of pitchers in the rotation. In the bullpen as well,” Assad said through a translator. “So it’s really great just to go out there and see them pitch and feed off each other.”
