Milwaukee entered the game against the rival Cubs aiming to break a three-game skid in a young spring training. Robert Zastryzny was on the mound for the Brewers while Jordan Wicks was on the mound for the Cubs. This game was also Craig Counsell’s first game against his former club as the Cubs manager.
After a double and an error, Seiya Suzuki scored on a wild pitch in the first inning, and the Cubs never looked back. They added to their lead in the top of the fourth when Alexander Canario hit an RBI single that scored Michael Busch.
