The Cubs welcomed Milwaukee to an uncharacteristically damp and dreary Sloan Park Friday, but at least Marquee viewers were able to bask in the sunshine of Pat Hughes’ call. The lifelong radio man participated in his first television broadcast Friday afternoon in Mesa, a wonderful preview of the season to come.
Too bad he didn’t have a better game. The Brewers did a little damage against Jake Arrieta, then did considerably more damage to Craig Kimbrel in a blowout win. (Box score)
Why the Cubs Lost
They had runners in scoring position the first three innings, but could not plate any of them.
