CHICAGO -- Anthony Rizzo has been watching a lot of the Final Five gold medal-winning U.S. Olympic womens gymnastics team. So when he jumped onto a wall to make a remarkable catch of a foul ball before sticking the landing, he had one thought.Maybe Final Six? Rizzo said, grinning.Jason Hammel threw seven innings of two-hit ball, Rizzo drew MVP chants after his circus catch, and the Chicago Cubs beat the banged-up Milwaukee Brewers 4-1 on Tuesday night to sweep a day-night doubleheader.Javier Baez hit a two-run homer while Hammel (13-5) struck out seven to extend his scoreless streak to 22 innings.But Hammel was more interested in talking about Rizzo. The first baseman jumped on the wall with both feet, leaned into the crowd and made a one-handed grab of Keon Broxtons popup in the fifth. He then snapped back and landed on his feet on the field.Stuck the landing, Hammel said. It was a great dismount.In the opener, Trevor Cahill came off the disabled list to throw five innings of two-hit ball in his first start in nearly 16 months in Chicagos 4-0 win.It was a nightmare day for the Brewers, who lost second-game starter Chase Anderson to a bruised left quadriceps after two batters and slugger Ryan Braun to a left knee injury in the fourth inning.We think we dodged a bullet there, Milwaukee manager Craig Counsel said of Braun. The doctor checked everything out and everything looks good. Its going to be day to day with him.Hernan Perezs two-out solo homer in the ninth off Travis Wood ended Milwaukees 17-inning scoreless streak. After another single, Aroldis Chapman entered and gave up a walk and infield single before striking out Martin Maldonado for his second save of the day and sixth with the Cubs.David Ross walked and scored on Kris Bryants single to left in the third off Jhan Marinez (0-1), who relieved Anderson.Hammel had two hits and the Cubs took control on Baezs two-run shot to left-center in Chicagos three-run sixth off lefty Rob Scahill to secure its 13th win in 15 games.In the opener, Chapman got two outs and reached 103 mph to complete the three-hitter.Its probably a demoralizing feeling for the other team to see him warming up, Hammel said.The Brewers were left with seven losses in 10 games amid plenty of bad news.Anderson, who took a no-hitter into the eightth in his last start against the Cubs, was struck by Bryants comebacker.dddddddddddd Anderson fielded and threw to first for the second out, but then limped off.Stiff and sore, Anderson said. Theres really not too much pain. Luckily it got all the muscle, so its just trying to get the swelling to go down.Braun limped off in the fourth after he crumpled into the side wall trying to catch a fly ball down the left field line.I sprained my knee, sprained my ankle a little bit, Braun said. But I think all things considered, it was probably the best scenario.Mike Montgomery followed Cahill in the first game and pitched two innings, Hector Rondon worked the eighth and Joe Smith walked two in the ninth.Cahill (2-3) also drove in a run with a safety squeeze, and the Cubs added runs on a wild pitch and Addison Russells sacrifice fly off Matt Garza (4-5).With right-hander John Lackeys right shoulder still sore after he left Sundays start, Cahill provides an option if the Cubs need a replacement.He gave us something to talk about, manager Joe Maddon said.Cahill bunted a 3-2 pitch in the fourth, and first baseman Chris Carters flip home wasnt in time to get Chris Coghlan.Garza allowed five hits and threw 103 pitches in five innings. Tyler Cravy, Milwaukees 26th player, threw two scoreless innings.They did a good job of grinding out at-bats, Garza said. They fouled off a lot pitches. Granted, I didnt have the best command.TRAINERS ROOMBrewers: Struggling RHP Michael Blazek went on the 15-day DL with a right forearm strain. He was really just fatigued, Counsell said. ... Damien Magnifico was called up from Triple-A Colorado Springs and gave up Coghlans sacrifice fly in the eighth in the opener in his major league debut.Cubs: RHP Pedro Strop (knee surgery) was off crutches. Hes expected to miss at least a month.PAPELBON?Maddon said he hasnt been involved in any discussions about signing former Nationals closer Jonathan Papelbon, who was released Saturday by Washington.Im not saying it cant happen, Maddon said, but for right now there is nothing happening.UP NEXTCubs RHP Jon Lester (12-4, 2.93 ERA) faces RHP Jimmy Nelson (6-12, 4.07) on Wednesday night.
