Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 26 (UPI) -- Randy Wolf settled down after giving up a first-inning homer Friday and the Milwaukee Brewers rallied to defeat the Chicago Cubs 5-2.
Wolf (11-8) gave up one earned run on four hits over 6 2/3 innings. Starlin Castro hit the home run for the Cubs in the first, but Milwaukee came back to take the lead with two unearned runs in the fifth.
George Kottaras hit a solo homer for the Brewers in the fourth and Prince Fielder drove in a run with a single in the seventh.
Milwaukee has split its last four games, but the Brewers have won 25 times in their last 30 contests while building a 9 1/2-game lead over second-place St. Louis in the National League Central.
John Axford picked up his 38th save despite allowing runners on the corners in the ninth inning.
The loss went to Rodrigo Lopez (4-5), who gave up four runs on five hits in six innings.
