Brewers vs. Cubs Game 1 Highlights (8/18/25) | MLB Highlights

And here today on Marquee Sports Network, it’s the Cubs and the Brewers. It’s a double header and the first of a five game series fans excited and Owen Casey making his first Wrigley field start. Cade Horton who gets the start and wow, has he been good this year? Wow. Has he been good at Wrigley Field? The strike zone? Last three starts. He throw first pitch strikes to 80% of the batters he has faced league average is right around 60%. That’s been the a on the attack overpowering. He’s got his work cut out for him because don’t look now the Brewers lead the majors. They have scored more runs per game than anyone in baseball. All the pieces in place. Let’s do it. First of a today day night double header and Horton going to work two and two on the leadoff man, Bryce Tang swing and a miss. And that’s the way the double header begins. If he can continue to throw that fastball and throw it over the plate and Then move it around just a little bit. He’s got such a good fastball. Here comes the payoff, bouncing ball wide of third glove by sean moving to his left sets the feet 1 to 2 to 3 for Kate Horton Peralta ready to go against Craig Counsell’s Chicago Cubs. He leads Major league baseball with 14 wins. Two up and two down. It will bring up Suzuki Drive base hit center field one for one for the birthday boy, two outs and a man aboard and here’s Pete Crow Armstrong no score bottom of the first two down Armstrong out in front of an off speed pitch. Peralta gavin de chase and he is out and that is the inning. Top of the second inning starts with christian Jelic. Today’s clean up hitter for the Brewers strike. Three looking. Yell it not crazy about the call. That’s too sure. What made, that’s 97 painted at the knock to the knees. Perkins returned from the bereavement list yesterday when one for four against the Reds swing and a Miss and Horton able to get Perkins 22 away for free. First of all swinging free in the right field of base hit Dan Jansen. Now big spot early drilled a deep left field that’s trouble going back and making the catch is Owen Casey. Nice play by Owen. He ran over and Then veered back , never gave up on the ball and made a nice one handed catch. And here comes Owen Casey to the plate on Casey’s first time here hitting at Wrigley field and a swing and a Miss casey strikes out the mighty casey second time around now against Kate Horton. See if the Brewers can dial in on the 23 year old Kate Horton. He leads the majors since the all star break in earned run, average fly ball to left. Got some carry to it. Casey’s back. Look it up goes deep again. The power surge of Bryce Tang his 13th home run and the Brewers strike first and Bryce Teren, how about the power from the Brewers second baseman here of late 12 line drive, fair ball down to third base and that will get into the corner case will dig it out. Durbin is into second greg Coel Nick Frana, the Cubs trainer going out to see him. They’re looking at his, at his hand that’s got to be blister issue. He may be having a little, got a little hot spot of something going there. You know, the one thing you don’t want him doing is making any kind of an adjustment with his grip because of the finger or whatever issue he’s having and having that affect his elbow or shoulder and they’re just going to move on from him here and a new man coming in, it’s an injury related departure. Pomeranz will take over big moment. Now the Brewers have the bases loaded Blake Perkins and delivers the pitch bounced to their backing up, sean long to across the diamond and it’s just in time. I don’t think they’re going to challenge it inning over good job by Peralta has retired six in a row and a swing and a miss. It’s been the off speed today for Peralta change ups and curveballs picks up his third K one nothing Brewers lead it as we go to the bottom of the fourth innings, had a good offspeed collection today. So just as Freddie was starting to really look like he was getting into a rhythm back to back one out walks and chris Hook is on his way out to chat with the Brewers starter off the inside edge ball four and they’re all loaded up for the kid three consecutive from a guy that would have to be categorized as a control pitcher now and casey could make 40,000 people really happy for the big swing and he struck him out a change up from Peralta. The guts to throw that pitch changeup gotten, but it’s out number two and Niko Horner due up huge strikeout one more piece to the puzzle here. Two strike pitch. Horner is right there and freddie Peralta on his 30th pitch of the inning strands the bases loaded. Both teams have left him loaded. It’s a thriller at Wrigley Durbin will dig in right handed batters Allen deep in the left. Durbin’s going to watch it tape measure job by Caleb Durbin two to nothing. Brewers Durbin’s seventh of the year. Caleb Durbin exits stage left so little after retiring the first two back to back walks here in the sixth inning and the door is open for the Brewers with two outs. Little tapper that is going to stay fair throw. The wow, here comes Frelick. He’s in Jackson are out there to be held. The Brewers lead three nothing on a swinging bunt by Ortiz the power of putting the ball in play one wild ride of an inning in the fourth. But otherwise freddie Peralta has been on his game. I mean fastballs up, fastballs down the changeup has been good. Hurt ball was good early on fly ball left center Perkins back on the warning track makes the catch and that ends the inning at six. Scoreless from freddie Peralta on the north side of Chicago. Durban will lead off the seventh inning outside corner Durban is gone. Swing and a Miss Contreras is gone two balls, two strikes, little fire. Luke little strikes out the side. It’s time to stretch 1/7 inning stretch back at Wrigley and Abner RBE will take over here. Bottom seven only Casey. Now two to two center field there it is a base hit for Owen casey his first in the big leagues big moment for Owen Casey. They are loaded for, guess who Joey Ortiz saw that note the eighth inning for whatever reason has been a trouble inning for the Cubs. Ortiz shoots one right side. Castro not in time an infield hit. It’s an RB I bases are still loaded in the Brewers lead four , nothing. You can call them lucky if you like. They do it every single game. Rice tang, the batter. Now turang with a base hit into right field station to station. They go, it is five nothing Brewers, Bryce Tang wasting no time and you start making some mistakes or walking some guys, they’re gonna make you pay and they’ve had some very good at bats here in the eighth. Still only one away bases loaded. Little Q shot Castro to second. Dare not in time at first. It’ll be another RB I for Durban , another ball in play and the Brewers make it six nothing William Contreras. The batter Hoell deal. Contreras that goes to the screen and coming in to score is Ortiz. It is seven to nothing. Brewers seven nothing Brewers, Grant anderson trying to close this one out on the north side of Chicago Arson Kelly batting two down ninth inning, popped him up. Left field. Collins coming in. Collins under it makes the catch and the Brewers shut out the Cubs seven nothing in game one of the double header. A frustrating start to the day for the Cubs.
