The Cubs were hoping to bounce back Saturday after a tough loss late in Friday’s game against the Brewers. Chicago raced out to a big early advantage before having to survive another bullpen adventure to escape with a one-run victory.
Nico Hoerner opened things up with a bang, hitting a solo home run to open the bottom of the 1st inning. Milwaukee starter Tobias Myers then walked the next three batters to load the bases with nobody out. Unfortunately, the Cubs could only get one additional tally on a Michael Busch groundout and were up 2-0.
