MILWAUKEE — The Brewers continue to widen the gap in the National League Central, this time with a convincing 9-3 victory over the Cubs, powered by a grand slam from Andrew Vaughn and another solid start from Quinn Priester.

Both players arrived in Milwaukee as discreet acquisitions months ago, but they are demonstrating a high-caliber impact. Vaughn shone with a three-hit game and six RBIs, while Priester added his ninth consecutive decision since being acquired in April, solidifying himself as a key piece of the rotation. "Everyone talks about the big changes at this time of year, but sometimes it's the silent moves that make the difference," reflected General Manager Matt Arnold. "We are committed to strengthening every aspect of the team." Priester, coming from the Red Sox, arrived at a time of urgency for the pitching staff. Vaughn, for his part, was acquired from the White Sox in June in exchange for veteran Aron Civale, who requested to be traded. Both started the year in Triple-A, but have made the most of the opportunity that Milwaukee gave them. With this triumph, the Brewers solidify their divisional lead and send a clear message to the rest of the league: they are ready to compete in October, with a strategic approach and without desperate moves.
