MILWAUKEE (AP) — Ian Happ hit a three-run homer, newly acquired left-hander David Peterson bounced back for the win after giving up a home run on his first pitch as a Cub, and Chicago beat the Milwaukee Brewers 8-2 on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Happ’s 17th homer capped a four-run sixth that put the Cubs up 6-2. <\/p>\n

Peterson (4-6), acquired Thursday from the Mets to bolster an injury-riddled rotation, allowed Jackson Chourio’s 11th homer on his first pitch, but then settled in to allow two runs on five hits in 5 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n

Seiya Suzuki and Michael Conforto also homered for the Cubs, who moved 6 1\/2 games behind the NL Central-leading Brewers, who had won the first four meetings between the teams this season.<\/p>\n

Chad Patrick (5-4) relieved to open the sixth and retired the first two hitters before issuing a pair of walks. Nico Hoerner followed with an RBI single to put the Cubs up 3-2. Happ then sent the first pitch 381 feet to right for his first homer since June 13.<\/p>\n

Alex Bregman’s sacrifice fly in the seventh increased the lead to 7-2. Conforto added a pinch-hit homer in the ninth.<\/p>\n

Kyle Harrison retired the first 10 hitters before Matt Shaw singled up the middle with one out in the fourth. Suzuki followed with his 12th homer to put Chicago up 2-1.<\/p>\n

The Brewers tied it 2-all in the fifth when Blake Perkins doubled to open and Sal Frelick followed with an RBI single.<\/p>\n

The Cubs acquired Peterson in exchange for minor-league infielder Cole Mathis after starters Edward Cabrera and Ben Brown joined three other starters on the injured list.<\/p>\n

Brandon Woodruff (2-1, 3.00 ERA) starts for the Brewers on Sunday, while the Cubs have yet to name a starter.<\/p>\n
