The Cubs traveled to Goodyear to battle Reds on Thursday night and there were fireworks in the 1st inning. After that opening frame, neither team did much of anything and the contest would eventually end in a tie.
Michael Busch provided the Cubs’ only offense with an absolute bomb of a two-run homer to center off of fireballer Hunter Greene just three batters into the game. Hayden Wesneski got the start for Chicago and was good other than allowing a solo shot from Spencer Steer in the bottom of the frame.
