CHICAGO (AP) – Milwaukee right-hander Corbin Burnes struck out 10 consecutive batters, tying the major league record and leading the Brewers past the Chicago Cubs 10-0.
Burnes finished with a career-high 15 strikeouts in eight innings on a steamy night at Wrigley Field.
An first-time All-Star this year, Burnes won his fifth straight decision.
Omar Narváez homered and drove in four runs as NL Central leaders won their third in a row.
The Cubs lost their seventh straight and have dropped 13 of 15.
