Offense hasn’t needed to be in the forefront for the Cubs during their 13-5 start to the season as the team’s starting pitching, defense and timely runs have been more than enough.
Cubs hitters weren’t able to generate much offense when they had their chances as they fell to the Brewers, 6-5 in 10 innings on Saturday.
Things started on the right foot for the Cubs as they jumped out to an early lead thanks to first baseman Anthony Rizzo. Rizzo homered on the first pitch he saw from Adrian Houser into the left-field bleachers and added an RBI-double in his next at-bat.
