MILWAUKEE -- With a short turnaround after an extra-inning game, the Chicago Cubs needed major league ERA leader Kyle Hendricks to provide a strong start Monday afternoon.Hendricks delivered six strong innings and the Cubs broke away late to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 7-2.After like really awkward games, he has really picked us up, Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. Thats just who he is. He normally gets you deeply into the game.Thats who he is, man. You pretty much have an idea what youre going to get when he goes out there, he said.Pinch hitter Chris Coghlan came through with a go-ahead single in a two-run seventh. He stayed in the game and got a two-run single in a four-run eighth for the NL Central leaders.Hendricks (14-7) gave up one run -- on Chris Carters 33rd homer -- and five hits in six innings, and left with a 2.07 ERA. He is 5-0 with a 1.30 ERA over his last seven starts.The right-hander has allowed three or fewer earned runs in each of his last 19 starts, which is the longest streak by any pitcher in the majors this season.After that at-bat (Carter home run), I did a much better job kind of pitching inside, just to give myself some more room glove-side, Hendricks said.It was 1-all in the seventh when Zach Davies (10-7) retired the first two batters. Montero then doubled and scored on the single by Coghlan, who took second on the throw.Tommy La Stella followed with an infield single that second baseman Scooter Gennett misplayed into the outfield, allowing Coghlan to score.If we dont do it right out of the gate, then our belief is always that well do it before its over, Coghlan said. I dont think we ever lose that. And thats why were so confident. And thats why its tough to shut us out and to keep us down.Davies allowed two earned runs on six hits over 6 2/3 innings.Chicago tied the game in the sixth on a two-out, broken-bat single by Jorge Soler.Every run they scored, even the base hits he gave up, that was soft contact, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. Some jam shots. If anything, they get rewarded for contact today. It wasnt hard contact, it was just contact and they got rewarded for that. He pitched great.Jason Heyward and Javier Baez drove in runs in the eighth off Ben Rowen before Coghlan capped the inning with his hit against Rob Scahill.Ryan Braun hit his 25th homer in the Milwaukee ninth.STREAK OVERKris Bryant went 0 for 5, ending his streak of consecutive games reaching base at a career-best 21. It was the second-longest run by a Cubs player this season. Anthony Rizzo reached in 26 straight games over parts of April and May.TRADE COMPLETEThe Brewers acquired minor league outfielder Ryan Cordell from Texas on Sunday as the player to be named in the trade that sent Jonathan Lucroy and Jeremy Jeffress to the Rangers on Aug. 1.TRAINERS ROOMCubs: RHP Hector Rondon is expected to be activated from the disabled list Tuesday, according to Maddon.

Saban looks and acts 10 years younger. So do a lot of people his age these days. To view Sabans achievements through a historical lens, take a look at where these great coaches were at age 65:? Bear Bryant had one of his best teams (1978), winning his fifth national title, but he was ailing and would be dead four years later. ? Woody Hayes threw the punch that got him fired. ? Bo Schembechler had been retired five years. ? Tom Osborne, too. He was a first-term congressman in 2002. ? Frank Leahy, who retired at age 45 in 1953 because of ill health, died at 64. ? Pop Warner won six games at Temple in 1936. He won a total of six the next two seasons and retired. ? Joe Paterno went 7-5 in 1992 and was two years shy of his last undefeated team, the 12-0 Nittany Lions who finished second to Nebraska. ? LaVell Edwards went 7-4 in 1995, one year before his BYU team went 14-1 and finished fifth in the nation. ? Bobby Bowden, one year after his first national championship, went 10-1-1 at Florida State and would win another the year he turned 70, in 1999. ? Lou Holtz went 5-7 at South Carolina in 2002 and retired after two more seasons.With the exception of Holtz, the modern-era coaches who rank among the winningest ever all had great years after they turned 65, something you couldnt say about previous generations. Between that and Sabans energetic appearance, it seems safe to say he isnt retiring anytime soon.1. Name a hot young coach in the American whose team is leading its division. You know the guy. He made his team nationally relevant last season. No, not Tom Herman, whose Houston Cougars have lost two of their last four and struggled to beat UCF on Saturday. Matt Rhule has refashioned a rebuilding year at Temple into a winning year. The Owls, after an 0-2 start, are 6-3 and leading the American East -- they are tied with USF but beat the Bulls this season. So explain to me why theres a Tom Herman Sweepstakes and not a Matt Rhule Sweepstakes?2. No. 4 Washington gave up 163 yards on the ground to Utah on Saturday, which is fewer than Oregon State (177) or Oregon (230) or Arizona (308!) gained against the Huskies. The reason might be in part philosophical. Huskies head coach Chris Petersen seems content with not putting his safeties in the box, letting his front seven do the work against the run. But Washington is 55th in rushing defense (153.9-yard average). Six of the last 10 national champions have finished in the top 10 against the run, none lower than 34th (Ohio State in 2014). Three finished first: Alabama in 2015, 2011 and 2012. This year, the Tide are ... first (70.1-yard average).3. In a Heisman race in which the preseason favorites (Leonard Fournette of LSU and Christian McCaffrey of Stanford) are only now returning to form from injury, and in which Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson has been the front-runner for nearly the entire season, Michhigan hybrid Jabrill Peppers is uniquely positioned to attract attention.dddddddddddd His numbers dont support his candidacy and they never will. The traditionalist in me remains more attracted by players such as Washington quarterback Jake Browning, San Diego State back Donnel Pumphrey and stat machine Patrick Mahomes II, the Texas Tech quarterback, than by Peppers.4. Deshaun Watson has kept Clemson winning, but I still feel the Tigers quarterback embodies the teams season; i.e., the Tigers arent playing their best; theyre playing well enough to win. One interesting number from ESPN Stats & Info.: Since 2011, Clemson is 18-2 (.900) in one-score games. Two of the other top three teams in that time frame, Oklahoma State (14-6, .700) and Kansas State (20-9, .690) also have successful veteran coaches. Heres the weird part: the second-best team in one-score games is Arkansas State (12-4, .750), which has had four coaches in six years: Hugh Freeze, Gus Malzahn, Bryan Harsin, and Blake Anderson. All good coaches, but no continuity. Yet the Red Wolves kept winning.5. USC changed the course of its season when Sam Darnold replaced Max Browne at quarterback. Darnold is among the national leaders in QBR. Browne isnt playing. The Alabama offense accelerated when Jalen Hurts took over for Blake Barnett, who left school and will land elsewhere. Wisconsin began moving the ball when Alex Hornibrook took over from Bart Houston. But the Badgers narrative isnt the same. Head coach Paul Chryst went back to Houston on Saturday when the Badgers struggled against Nebraska, and Houston led the team to victory in overtime. That says a lot about Houston -- and Chryst.6. I dont know if this could happen only at Ole Miss, but its of a piece with the Rebels long, frustrating history in the SEC. Senior Chad Kelly threw for 465 yards in the loss to Auburn on Saturday night, breaking the school record of 436 yards set by Archie Manning in the epic 33-32 loss to Alabama in 1969. Kelly also holds third place, his 421-yard performance in the loss to the Crimson Tide earlier this season. Thats right: the top three passing games in school history all came in losses. Bo Wallace threw for 413 yards in a victory over Arkansas in 2013. Someone should recognize that.7. The day before Saban turned 65, Ohio State announced the death of 1973 Outland Trophy winner John Hicks at the same age. He was such a dominant offensive tackle that he finished second in the Heisman voting that year. I interviewed Hicks only once, a warm phone conversation 13 years ago. I asked him about the Ohio State tradition of awarding its players gold pants, a jewelry charm, for beating Michigan. Hicks won two pair in his career. They are a badge of honor, Hicks said. Wives wear them. Youll see Buckeye wives from the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s. The first thing they do is pull out their Michigan pants. Youll hear someone say, You only got one? That wife will give her husband a dirty look. ' ' '
