The Rundown: Schwarber Hits First MLB HR, Cubs Sign 1st-Round Pick Ian Happ and 9 Others, Eugene Emeralds Kick Off Season, 2 Low-Level Prospects Suspended for PEDs

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that last night’s 4-3 loss to the Indians was not as fun as the 17-0 drubbing the Cubs put on them on Wednesday.

It was a tough loss, but possibly could have been worse out of the gates, as Jason Hammel had a rough first inning. He gave up two quick runs and had Michael Brantley on third base with no outs.

But Hammel was able to escape with no further damage by striking out the next three hitters.

Things looked great when Kyle Schwarber hit a bomb — his first MLB home run — to the opposite field to tie the game at 3-3 in the fifth inning.
