In 4 ⅓ innings, Woodruff allowed five hits, three runs and three walks with six strikeouts over a season-high 94 pitches. He took his first loss of the season, falling to 4-1, while the Brewers suffered their first setback of the season with the right-hander on the mound (7-1).

Jameson Taillon pitched six effective innings in his return from a calf injury, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-1 on Tuesday night for a sweep of their split doubleheader. Michael Busch drove in two runs as Chicago improved to 4-2 on an eight-game homestand. Ian Happ had two hits, and Owen Caissie contributed a bloop RBI single.

The Cubs and Brewers are in the midst of a crucial series that features five games in a four-day span. An already-daunting schedule for the rivals was thrown a wrench on Monday, when rain forced the teams to move the planned doubleheader to Tuesday.
