When Andrew Vaughn joined the Milwaukee Brewers last month with a chance to rejuvenate a career that had gone sideways, the message he received from his new team was simple. If you chase, you won’t play.

The Brewers doubled up the Cubs, 8-4, last night. Christian Yelich went 2-4 and drove in 3 runs to pace the attack as Milwaukee overcame a rough start from rookie phenom Jacob Misiorowski (3 runs allowed in 4 innings).

Misirowski is the leader by a slight margin to win the award despite only starting six games this season, at -115. Atlanta Braves catcher and Madison native Drake Baldwin is second at -110.
