The Cubs beat the Mets, 6-2, at Wrigley Field on Wednesday, giving them a 2-1 series win. After limping into the All-Star break, the Cubs have won four of six since the break, outscoring their opponents 22-10 in those games.

The Brewers lost to the Pirates, 5-3, in the rubber match at PNC Park on Thursday. It was their 13th loss in their last 19 games, and dropped them 16.5 games behind the division-leading Cubs.

The Cubs have won 3 out of 5 games between the teams this season, but both losses came at Miller Park. Dating back to last season, the Cubs are 9-4 in Milwaukee, including winning their final seven games there last year.

Jason Hammel had a great game against the Rangers last Saturday at Wrigley, picking up the win after allowing just one run on three hits in 6.0 innings. Hammel took a loss earlier in the year in Milwaukee, allowing four runs (all earned) in 6.0 innings on May 19, but he has a career 2.18 ERA in seven starts at Miller Park.

Jimmy Nelson got his sixth win of the season, but first since May, last Saturday in Cincinnati, allowing no runs in 7.0 innings. He also threw a gem against the Cubs earlier this year, shutting them out for 7.1 innings but getting a no-decision on May 18. Despite a 2.83 career ERA against them in seven starts, Nelson has never beaten the Cubs.

In the series against the Mets, Anthony Rizzo had two games with 3 RBI. He has nine games with 3+ RBI, trailing only Daniel Murphy for the most such games in the NL (10).
