Right-hander Freddy Peralta (12-4, 2.81) starts for the Brewers, while left-hander Shota Imanaga (7-4, 3.12) counters for the Cubs. Jackson Chourio, who suffered a hamstring cramp and had to be removed from Tuesday's game, is out.

DL Hall threw a 1-2-3 fifth but quickly ran into trouble in the sixth when pinch-hitter Justin Turner blooped a double to right with Dansby Swanson, up next, sending his own two-batter to left-center that stretched the deficit back out to three runs.
