Jhoulys Chacin as Brewers starting pitcher for Cubs

The Milwaukee Brewers named Jhoulys Chacin as their starting pitcher for Monday afternoon's NL Central tiebreaker against the Chicago Cubs.

Chacin was 2-2 with a 1.59 ERA against the Cubs this season. Overall, Chacin is 15-8 with a 3.56 ERA in 34 starts in 2018.

Brewers manager Craig Counsell waited until Monday to announce his starter against the Cubs, who named Jose Quintana (13-11) their starter immediately after beating the St. Louis Cardinals in Sunday's regular-season finale.

"Jhoulys is on normal rest," Counsell said. "Innings are important today, from our starter. And he's pitched well against [the Cubs]. A lot of good factors line up for it, and Jhoulys will pitch well today."
