Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson high fives Eric Hosmer after scoring a run during the third inning against the Milwaukee Brewers at Wrigley Field on March 30, 2023 in Chicago, Illinois.

In Dansby Swanson’s first game as a Cub, a 4-0 Opening Day win Thursday against the Brewers, he drove in the team’s first run of the season.

Miles Mastrobuoni, also making his Cubs debut, and Nico Hoerner, fresh off a contract extension, stood on first and third with one out when Swanson stepped up to the plate in the third inning.

Swanson drove a single through the right side of the infield and pumped his fist as he ran to first, knowing Mastrobuoni would easily score to give the Cubs the lead.
