(AP) - Shaun Marcum pitched seven strong innings and Edwin Maysonet hit his first career grand slam Saturday to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a 8-2 win over the Chicago Cubs.
It was the second straight win for the Brewers, who beat the Cubs in 13 innings Friday in a 5-hour game that ended just past midnight.
Saturday's start remained at noon because it was a nationally televised game.
Marcum (2-1) gave up just one run on three hits and had six strikeouts.
After giving up a run in the first he did not allow a runner past second, retiring 10 of the last 11 he faced.
Chris Volstad (0-5) pitched six innings for the Cubs, giving up six runs on nine hits.
It was the 18th straight start that Volstad did not record a victory.
His last win was July 17, 2011, for Florida.
