The Chicago Cubs posted just their second series win of the season with a 4-2 victory Sunday over the Milwaukee Brewers.

Welington Castillo and Mike Olt homered while Travis Wood settled in after a shaking first inning for the win. Hector Rondon continues to emerge as the closer, but the title does not mean anything to him, he just wants to help win games.

After an off day Monday, Cubs right-hander Jason Hammel (4-2, 3.06 ERA) will square off against New York Yankees right-hander Masahiro Tanaka (6-0, 2.17) in the 7:05 p.m. start from Wrigley Field.

Around the league: Dodgers’ pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu will return from the DL Wednesday, the Braves rallied in the ninth to top the Cardinals, the Tigers completed a sweep in a ALCS rematch, the Giants starting rotation to win, and the White Sox put home run slugger Jose Abreu on the DL with an ankle injury.
