Expect a tight, pitching-first contest. Chicago gives the ball to left-handed ace Justin Steele, whose sharp fastball/slider mix has generated a spring strikeout surge. Milwaukee counters with Freddy Peralta, riding a fresh contract extension and flashing mid-90s life in Cactus League play. Early innings profile as a duel: Steele neutralizes Milwaukee’s lefty thumpers, while Peralta’s elevated heater frustrates the Cubs’ top-order contact hitters.
The Brewers scratch first in the 2nd when William Contreras jumps a first-pitch cutter into the left-field corner for an RBI double. Chicago answers in the 3rd thanks to Nico Hoerner’s opposite-field single after Seiya Suzuki legs out an infield hit, but Peralta strands two to keep damage minimal.
Middle innings shift on bullpen depth. Steele hands a 1-1 game to the seventh after fanning eight, yet Chicago’s bridge relievers have been the club’s soft spot (4.90 pen ERA). Milwaukee capitalizes in the 6th: Christian Yelich walks, Willy Adames singles, and Rhys Hoskins drives them home with a line-drive double off the ivy. Craig Counsell’s crew trims the deficit in the 8th with Mike Tauchman’s pinch-hit RBI, but Brewers setup duo Joel Payamps and Hoby Milner douse the threat, and Devin Williams closes a clean 9th.
Milwaukee’s superior run differential and deeper late-inning arms tip the balance despite Chicago’s home-field advantage. Final: Brewers 4, Cubs 2.
