The Chicago Cubs have certainly not started the season on a high note. They lost their ace, Justin Steele, on opening day to a hamstring strain. On Saturday, they got ambushed in an offensive onslaught in which RHP Ben Brown made his MLB debut, giving up six runs in 1.2 innings pitched.
Today, the Cubs will attempt to salvage the series by winning the final game of the three-game set before heading home to a dreary forecast that feels oddly appropriate.
Jordan Wicks will be making his first start of the season today, hoping to stop the bleeding against the all-world offense of the Texas Rangers.
