The Milwaukee Brewers vanquished the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday with a 5-0 win to complete the sweep of their division rivals and solidify their place atop the National League Central Division.

It was a game in which pitching was on full display thanks to an 11-strikeout shutout gem through seven innings by Kyle Harrison before DL Hall finished things up by striking out two more and not allowing any hits over two innings. While Milwaukee’s arms were highly effective, the offense was doing its job, too.

The Brewers had several players step up during their three-game set against Chicago. In Wednesday’s series finale, it was David Hamilton’s turn.

Hamilton went 3-for-4 at the plate with an RBI, and his at-bats were highlighted by an inside-the-park home run in the top of the second inning and a triple in the top of the seventh.

After the game, Hamilton reacted to his electric inning, starting with his little-league homer that was made possible because of an error by Cubs’ center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong.

"Run," Hamilton said when asked what was going through his mind. "Yeah, just trying to, I saw it get past him, and I was thinking forward, but not sure. I'm running as fast as I can."

Hamilton was approaching third base when Brewers’ offense and strategy coordinator Jason Lane began waving him toward home, and he did what he could to get there as quickly as possible.

"He didn't do it until I got to third," Hamilton said. "But I was running just in case. And he ended up sending me, so I was running as fast as I could."

For Hamilton, it was his first time hitting an inside-the-park home run as a professional player.

"Yeah," he said. "I probably had one in college, high school, something like that, but not in pro ball."

Hamilton also touched on his triple later in the game that caused him to sprint again because of the nature of the hit.

"I was hoping it would get out of here," Hamilton said. "But yeah, the wind was pretty crazy today. Kind of jogging out of the box on that one, too. Saw it go off his glove, and same thing, just started running."

The triple was Hamilton’s first of the season, and he relished the night he had at the plate and how he was able to produce given the work he continues to put in.

"Yeah, for sure," he said. "Been struggling a little bit, just trying to put my work down on the page, and seeing results, just got to stick with it."
