Dempster allowed four runs, three earned, on eight hits and two walks in 6.2 innings Thursday. He struck out nine.

Dempster gave up four runs - three earned - while striking out nine in 6 2-3 innings of a 9-5 win over the Brewers on Thursday night.
Advice: Dempster got his first win in six starts since May 30. The veteran right-hander was 0-2 in five outings in June despite a solid 3.23 ERA, and the Cubs lost all of those games.
