Brewers nip Cubs; avoid sweep
Casey McGehee belted a two-run homer and drove in three runs as the Milwaukee Brewers downed the Chicago Cubs 8-6 Thursday to avoid a three-game sweep at Wrigley Field.

Jeff Samardzija gave up two runs in relief of starter Carlos Zambrano and was tagged with the loss.
