CHICAGO (AP) — Jesse Winker is working on a smooth transition to the Milwaukee Brewers. A couple of big hits in the team’s first series definitely helps.Winker had two hits and three RBIs, including a key two-run single in Milwaukee’s five-run sixth inning, and the Brewers beat Jameson Taillon and the Chicago Cubs 9-5 on Sunday.Christian Yelich, Garrett Mitchell and Brice Turang also had two hits apiece — part of a 13-hit attack for Milwaukee in the rubber game of the opening set between NL Central rivals. Eric Lauer (1-0) pitched 5 1/3 innings of two-run ball, settling down after a shaky start.“I thought we swung the bats very well,” manager Craig Counsell said. “Put the ball in play a lot at the right times, and with the amount of traffic we had, that led to some good results.” Winker was acquired in a December trade with Seattle. He had a pinch RBI single in the eighth inning of Milwaukee’s 3-1 win on Saturday.“I think the first thing we want to do as hitters is...

He made another par, and Koepka gave him hope by missing a 5-foot birdie.The final hol...
