Freddy Peralta allowed one hit and struck out six batters and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Chicago Cubs 7-0 in the first half of a Monday doubleheader. All-Star pitcher Peralta (15-5, 2.78 ERA) shut Chicago out over six innings to help Milwaukee advance to an MLB-best record of 79-45.

Inclement weather that rolled into Chicago has washed out Game 2, pushing the second game to Aug. 19. The new doubleheader will feature the same game times as the proposed schedule Aug. 18, with a 1:20 p.m. CT first game and a 7:05 p.m. nightcap.
