Colin Rea

Rea surrendered four hits and two walks but punched out eight hitters to keep the Cubs off the board for his five innings of work. Rea has now struck out 18 batters in his last 15 2/3 innings and has bounced back nicely since allowing seven earned runs in a start against the Pirates on July 9. Rea's ERA sits at a solid 3.60 on the year. Rea will look to earn his 10th win of the season on Monday in his start against the Braves.

Turang gave the Brewers their first and only run of the night in the eighth inning when he singled off Julian Merryweather to drive home Jake Bauers. Turang's RBI single proved to be enough for the Brewers to walk away with the win, as starter Colin Rea and the bullpen held the Cubs to seven hits and no runs on the evening. Turang is now sitting on 42 RBI on the season but is slashing a woeful .156/.217/.188 in the month of July.

Hoerner and shortstop Dansby Swanson were responsible for four of the seven hits the Cubs strung together on the evening. Unfortunately, none of those hits resulted in runs, as the Cubs spent the evening being stifled by Colin Rea and the Brewers' bullpen. Hoerner has now hit safely in three-straight games and has two doubles over that span. He's hitting .296 in the month of July and continues to be a run-scoring machine for the Cubbies - with the exception of tonight's shutout loss.

Yepez was the most productive National against Colin Rea in this one and has been a lightning rod since being called up by Washington. He has a hit in every game he's played with six doubles and six runs scored. Seeing that one stolen base also feels pretty good. Hats off to any managers who streamed him this week.

Colin Rea was originally scheduled to start, but it sounds like he'll be the bulk pitcher in what will essentially be a bullpen game leading into the break. It's not a fantasy situation to chase.
