The Chicago Cubs were able to open up their four-game road trip in Milwaukee with a win thanks to first baseman and All-Star, Anthony Rizzo who launched the go-ahead three-run homer in the eighth inning to give his team the 3-2 lead.
Joe Maddon‘s group of young pups wouldn’t stop there, scoring an additional two runs in the ninth to boost their way to a 5-2 victory.
Just a day after southpaw Jon Lester struck out 14 batter’s, Jake Arrieta took the mound in hopes of putting himself back in the win column after going 4-1 over his last five outings.
