MILWAUKEE (AP) — Willy Adames and Keston Hiura each hit a three-run homer during a 10-run outburst in the eighth inning that lifted the Milwaukee Brewers a 14-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Monday night.
The Brewers earned their sixth consecutive victory to extend their NL Central lead over the Cubs to four games.

Ian Happ and Patrick Wisdom each hit a two-run homer for the Cubs.
Jackie Bradley Jr. doubled home Peterson to break a 4-all tie and start the Brewers’ eighth-inning flurry. Bradley’s RBI double came after Ryan Tepera (0-2) issued consecutive one-out walks to Peterson and Hiura.
The Brewers poured it from there, scoring at least 10 runs in an inning for the first time since April 18, 2010, at Washington.
Tyrone Taylor hit a sacrifice fly and Luis Urias delivered an RBI double that made it 7-4. After Trevor Megill replaced Tepera and intentionally walked Christian Yelich, Adames hit a three-run homer to left-center.
Peterson added an RBI double and Hiura ripped a three-run homer off Megill later in the inning.
Milwaukee broke the game open after the Cubs left the bases loaded in the top half of the eighth against Devin Williams (5-1).
After retiring the first two Cubs batters, Williams allowed a double to Eric Sogard and issued consecutive walks to Sergio Alcántara and Jose Lobaton.
Williams then fell behind 2-0 against pinch-hitter Rafael Ortega before getting him to ground to first on a 3-2 pitch.
Chicago trailed 4-2 before Wisdom’s pinch-hit homer off Brad Boxberger in the seventh. Wisdom’s drive traveled an estimated 435 feet, delighting the Cubs fans who seemed to make up over half the crowd at Milwaukee’s American Family Field.

Chicago’s Kyle Hendricks allowed four runs in seven innings. When the Brewers scored twice in the bottom of the first, it ended Hendricks’ streak of 15 consecutive scoreless innings.
Hendricks had won each of his last eight starts.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Cubs: 1B Anthony Rizzo rested after tightness on the left side of his lower back caused him to leave their game with the Los Angeles Dodgers a night earlier.
Brewers: 2B Kolten Wong was out of the starting lineup for a second straight day due to tightness in his left calf. Wong said he got hurt Saturday while chasing a fly ball that García caught in shallow right field. “I’ve felt better every single day,” Wong said regarding his possible return. “Maybe tomorrow, but I think Wednesday is more of a reliable timeline for it.”
TRANSACTIONS
Cubs: Recalled RHP Trevor Megill from Triple-A Iowa and optioned RHP Tommy Nance to Iowa.
Brewers: Recalled utilityman Pablo Reyes from Triple-A Nashville, optioned RHP Ryan Weber to Nashville and outrighted OF Derek Fisher to Nashville.
UP NEXT
RHP Zach Davies (5-4, 4.31 ERA) pitches for the Cubs and RHP Brandon Woodruff (6-3, 1.89) starts for the Brewers on Tuesday night.
