ROSEMONT, Ill. — The Skinny: After the Milwaukee Milkmen knotted the game at four runs apiece in the eighth inning, the Dogs quickly responded — K.C. Hobson scored the winning run on a Blake Allemand single combined with a Milwaukee throwing error. Adam Choplick then struck out all three batters he faced in the ninth to close out a 5-4 win and earn a series victory for Chicago.

Winning Pitcher: RHP Jalen Miller

Losing Pitcher: RHP Karch Kowalczyk

Star of the Game: Luke Westphal. In his first 2020 start, Westphal struck out eight batters and allowed just a single run. He pitched out of a bases-loaded jam in the first inning and stranded two Milwaukee runners in the fifth.
