Crow-Armstrong homers for 3rd time in 2 nights as Cubs defeat Brewers 6-2

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Pete Crow-Armstrong and Dansby Swanson hit back-to-back homers off Jose Quintana in the fourth inning as the Chicago Cubs defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 6-2 on Saturday night.

Kyle Tucker also went deep to help the NL Central-leading Cubs beat the two-time defending division champions for a second straight night. Chicago’s Jameson Taillon (2-1), Julian Merryweather and Brad Keller combined on a four-hitter.

Quintana (4-1) had allowed a total of three runs and one homer over 23 2/3 innings in his first four starts with the Brewers, but he gave up six runs and three homers in five innings Saturday.

Crow-Armstrong’s three-run shot to right-center broke a 1-all tie in the fourth inning and gave him nine homers this season. Crow-Armstrong homered twice in the Cubs’ 10-0 victory over the Brewers on Friday.

Swanson followed by swinging at a 3-0 pitch and producing a 391-foot drive to left-center.
