They'll be counting on a quality start from ace Freddy Peralta (14-5, 2.90 ERA) for the first game of the doubleheader. Peralta, who took the loss in the July 30 meeting, is 8-3 with a 3.42 ERA in 92 innings over 21 career appearances (16 starts) against the Cubs.
Milwaukee's offense was scorching during the winning streak, outscoring opponents 119-52 and scoring at least seven runs in 10 of the 14 games. In eight of those games, the Brewers also won by at least three runs.
"It's amazing when you're a part of the history of the organization and you break the record winning streak," said Brewers pitcher Jose Quintana, who started Sunday. "It's been amazing. We want more. We're going to stay hungry."
Rookie righty Cade Horton (7-3, 3.07) will get the nod for Chicago in the first game on Monday afternoon, facing the Brewers for the first time in his career.
Neither team has named a starter for Game 2 slated for Monday night.

The Toronto Blue Jays are looking to improve their standing in the chase for the best record in the American League as they head to Pittsburgh on Monday night to face Pirates ace right-hander Paul Skenes.
Veteran right-hander Kevin Gausman (8-9, 3.79 ERA) will oppose Skenes (7-9, 2.13) as the second-year pitcher vies to solidify his case for his first Cy Young Award and perhaps break the Pirates out of their recent woes. Pittsburgh enters the game having lost seven of its past eight.
While Skenes remains the frontrunner to take home his first Cy Young this season, his month of August hasn't been very Cy Young-worthy overall.
Skenes, who will face Toronto for the first time in his career, threw 93 pitches and lasted only four innings -- matching a season low -- in his most recent outing Tuesday against the Milwaukee Brewers. He allowed four runs on six hits and two walks and struck out four in what would finish as a lopsided 14-0 loss for Pittsburgh.
Gausman took a loss in his most recent outing on Wednesday against the visiting Chicago Cubs, but he pitched well. Gausman allowed only two runs on three hits and walked one over seven innings. But two of those hits were solo home runs to Michael Busch and Matt Shaw, which contributed to a 4-1 Cubs' victory.
Gausman has pitched at least six innings in each of his past five starts and allowed two runs or fewer in four of those outings. He is 1-3 with a 5.74 ERA in 47 innings over 10 career appearances (eight starts) against the Pirates.

Right-hander Dustin May (7-8, 4.67 ERA) will make his third start for the Red Sox since he was acquired from the Dodgers at the trade deadline. May has faced the Orioles once during his career, in September 2019. He didn't allow a run in two innings and didn't factor in the decision.
Lefty Trevor Rogers (5-2, 1.43) will start on the mound for Baltimore. He's 0-2 with a 2.45 ERA in 18 1/3 innings over four career appearances (all starts) against the Red Sox.
Rogers began the season on the injured list with a knee injury. He made his season debut May 24 against the Red Sox in Boston and pitched 6 1/3 scoreless innings but did not get a decision in a game the Orioles won 2-1.
