Willy Adames hit a three-run homer during Milwaukee's five-run eighth inning, and the Brewers beat the Chicago Cubs 5-1 on Monday in Craig Counsell’s return to American Family Field.
Counsell, the winningest manager in Brewers history, left Milwaukee after last season when the Cubs signed him to a five-year contract worth over $40 million. He already had managed against his former team when the Cubs took two of three from the Brewers at Wrigley Field from May 3-5.
The Brewers welcomed Counsell back with a brief thank-you video message on the scoreboard that was accompanied by a chorus of boos from Brewers fans in the sellout crowd of 41,882. Counsell was booed every time he left the dugout., who spent most of the day in a pitchers’ duel with Robert Gasser. The Cubs didn't arrive in Milwaukee until early Monday morning following a 4-3 loss at St. Louis in a rain-delayed game Sunday night.
Gasser struck out seven and walked none in six innings. The rookie left-hander has a 1.96 ERA through his first four career starts. After allowing one hit in the first six innings, Gasser allowed consecutive singles to Suzuki and Bellinger to open the seventh. Hudson then struck out Morel and retired Wisdom on a broken-bat popup before Swanson struck out looking to end the threat.
