Welcome back, fellow Cubs fans! The season began with a bang for the, as Ian Happ hit a long bomb on the very first pitch of the 2018 campaign. Our own Evan Altman predicted he would homer on the third pitch of the game, but I’m certain he is okay with being wrong just this once.
Jon Lester pitched well enough, but the Marlins were able to get a lot of hard contact against him. Some shaky outfield defense by Kyle Schwarber didn’t help matters, and indirectly led to a couple Marlins runs in the 3rd inning.
