Cubs defeat Brewers 6-5

MILWAUKEE (AP) - Anthony Rizzo hit a three-run double in the seventh inning and Joe Nathan got the win in his first game in the majors since April 2015.

Nathan was activated off the 60-day disabled list earlier in the day, completing his comeback from Tommy John surgery.

The Cubs broke through against the Brewers bullpen after struggling with runners in scoring position against starter Junior Guerra.

Tommy La Stella went 3 for 3 for Chicago. He had an RBI double before Will Smith (1-3) walked Kris Bryant to load the bases for Rizzo. He hit a 2-2 slider down in the zone into right-center to clear the bases and give Chicago a 5-4 lead.
