Brewers take 4-1 decision from Cubs

Brice Turang hit a two-run homer and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Chicago Cubs 4-1 on Thursday.

The Brewers maintained a seven-game lead over Chicago in the NL Central. Milwaukee took the finale in a five-game series at Wrigley Field after the Cubs won three straight. 

Milwaukee starter Quinn Priester allowed one run on three hits in 4 1/3 innings, but issued a season-high five walks while striking out four.

Five Brewers relievers limited Chicago to two hits. 

Cubs starter Shota Imanaga (8-6) allowed two runs on three hits in seven innings, striking out five.

Chicago failed to cash in on eight walks and left 11 men on base.

Slumping Cubs All-Star slugger Kyle Tucker returned to the lineup after sitting out three games and went 0-for-4 with a walk.

The Cubs begin a long road stint in Anaheim Friday night.
