The Chicago Cubs were the first to open op the season against the Miami Marlins on Thursday. There were high hopes for the Cubs, and in the end, they didn’t disappoint. Cubs new leadoff man Ian Happ wasted no time as he took the first pitch out of the park, and the Cubs were off and running. Anthony Rizzo hit his first of the season, and so did Kyle Schwarber. Unfortunately, Schwarber had some misplays in the field. But he’s a work in progress.
But the bullpen was on-point, not surrendering a run to the Marlins as the Cubs went on to win, 8-4.
