Avisaíl García - Mashes homer No. 20 Garcia went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a 4-2 win over the Cubs in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

Impact His fourth-inning blast off Justin Steele proved to be the game-winning hit. Garcia tied his career high with his 20th homer of the season, three of which have come in his last nine games -- a stretch during which he's batting .355 (11-for-31) with nine RBI.

Lorenzo Cain - Pops fourth homer Cain went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a 4-2 win over the Cubs during the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

Impact He gave the Brewers an insurance run in the sixth inning by taking Trevor Megill deep. Cain has now hit safely in 10 of 11 games since coming off the IL in late July, batting .341 (14-for-41) over that stretch, but Tuesday's long ball was his first since May 3 and only his fourth of the season.

Willy Adames - Slugs 21st homer Adames went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in a 4-2 win over the Cubs during the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

Impact The shortstop led off the fourth inning with his 21st homer of the season, setting a new career high and getting the Brewers on the board. Sixteen of Adames' long balls have come in just 68 games since he was traded from Tampa Bay, and on the season he sports a .491 SLG and .826 OPS, both of which would be personal bests.

Devin Williams - Notches second save Williams gave up three hits and struck out two in a scoreless seventh inning Tuesday to record his second save of the season in the first game of a doubleheader against the Cubs.

Impact The right-hander loaded the bases on three singles, but Williams rebounded to fan Patrick Wisdom and Greg Deichmann to end the matinee. Both of Williams' saves have come in his last three appearances as he extended his scoreless streak to 12 innings and 13 games, and he should remain the Brewers' top closing option while Josh Hader (COVID-19) is sidelined.

Freddy Peralta - Fans eight in ninth win Peralta (9-3) picked up the win in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cubs, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over 5.1 innings in a 4-2 victory. He str...

Impact The right-hander fired 61 of 89 pitches for strikes before exiting two outs shy of his third straight quality start. Peralta continues to impress, giving up more than two earned runs just once in his last 15 outings, and he'll take a 2.26 ERA and 162:51 K:BB through 119.1 innings into his next start.

Sal Romano - Designated for assignment Romano was designated for assignment by the Brewers on Tuesday.

Impact Romano has now been DFA'd three times this season, having been previously dropped by the Reds in mid-May and the Yankees in late July. He owns a 5.63 ERA in 24 innings between the three clubs, striking out just 13.9 percent of opposing batters.

Jake Cousins - Back in action Cousins (illness) was activated off the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday.

Impact Cousins tested positive for the virus at the end of July, but his battle with the illness evidently wasn't a particularly long one. The Brewers will be quite happy to see him back in the bullpen, as he's had a dominant start to his big-league career, striking out 20 batters in 14.1 scoreless innings of work while allowing just four hits and five walks.

Aaron Ashby - Starting Game 2 of twin bill The Brewers will call up Ashby from Triple-A Nashville to start the second game of their doubleheader with the Cubs, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Ashby's MLB debut came back on June 30 against this same Cubs team, when he recorded only two outs and surrendered seven runs (four earned) on four hits and three walks. Despite putting Milwaukee in a 7-0 hole, Ashby was spared the loss when the Brewers mounted a furious comeback to win by a 15-7 margin. The Brewers are expected to designate Ashby as their 27th man for the twin bill, so he'll presumably head back to Nashville after making the spot start.

Rowdy Tellez - Out for Game 1 of doubleheader Tellez is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Cubs.

Impact The Brewers are going with a right-handed-heavy lineup to counter Cubs lefty Justin Steele in the series opener, so the lefty-hitting Tellez will sit out the front end of the twin bill along with Omar Narvaez and Christian Yelich. Eduardo Escobar will man first base in the early game, but expect Tellez to return to the lineup for the nightcap with right-hander Alec Mills on the bump for Chicago.

Christian Yelich - On bench for Game 1 of twin bill Yelich is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Cubs.

Impact The Brewers are going with a right-handed-heavy lineup to counter Cubs lefty Justin Steele in the series opener, so the lefty-hitting Yelich will sit out the front end of the twin bill along with Omar Narvaez and Rowdy Tellez. After being activated from the COVID-19 injured list Saturday, Yelich took a seat for the penultimate game of the Brewers' series with the Giants before returning to the lineup for Sunday's loss and going 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored.

Omar Narváez - Sitting in front end of twin bill Narvaez is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Cubs.

Impact With the Brewers facing a lefty (Justin Steele) in the front end of the twin bill, the lefty-hitting Narvaez will give way to the righty-hitting Manny Pina behind the dish. Expect Narvaez to catch for starting pitcher Aaron Ashby in the second game of the doubleheader.
