Jon Lester pitched seven scoreless innings for his first victory with Chicago and Addison Russell hit his first career home run in the Cubs' 1-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers 1-0 on Friday. Cubs manager Joe Maddon decided to go with reliever Pedro Strop to face switch-hitter Elian Herrera. Strop pitched a perfect eighth inning and Hector Rondon pitched the ninth for his fifth save in six chances. After a two-out double to Jason Rogers, Rondon retired pinch-hitter Adam Lind to end the game.
