Fiers stifles Cubs with 14 K’s as Brewers split

A series loss to the last-place Cubs would have burned, but strikeout machine Mike Fiers and the Brewers could stomach a four-game split. Fiers did not allow a run while logging a stunning 14 strikeouts in six innings, helping to ease concerns about injuries to two other Brewers starters while sending Milwaukee to a 6-2 win at Wrigley Field on Thursday.
