Chicago Cubs Facing Backlash for Owen Caissie Decision Before Pirates Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. A heartbreaking loss for the Chicago Cubs on Friday wasn't enough to change things up.

Freddy Peralta allowed one hit in six innings for his major league-leading 15th win, and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Chicago Cubs 7-0 on Monday. Milwaukee won for the 15th time in 16 games and extended its NL Central lead to nine over the rival Cubs.

And per Marquee Sports Network, since 1917 his batting average of .315 with RISP is tied for the best in club history (minimum 500 at-bats) with three-time All-Star Mark Grace. His .315 is also second-best in all of baseball for players with a minimum of 100 at-bats).
