Cubs 7, Brewers 3
Ted Lilly increased his career high in wins to 17 on Saturday afternoon. (Morry Gash/AP)
Ted Lilly carried a no-hitter through six innings, then let the Cubs' bullpen carry his 17th victory home. The bats did much of their damage vs. the Brewers in the first three frames, with Daryle Ward's two-run first-inning homer leading the way.
