The timely hitting of Akitada Nishizawa helped the Milwaukee Brewers down the Chicago Cubs, 8-5. Nishizawa was 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for the Brewers. John Owens got the save, the 3rd for him this season. Milwaukee goes to 17-10 with the win.

Milwaukee used the timely hitting of Junzo Kato to capture the win. The first baseman socked a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Brewers ahead, 5-0. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"We maximized our offense today," said Milwaukee skipper Andy Pafko III. "That makes everyone's life easier."
