This recap was going to be a tough one to write regardless of the score after the passing of Ryne Sandberg was announced on Marquee Sports Network during Monday’s game. As a reminder, I will have a complete obituary reviewing Ryno’s life and career coming up here at 11 a.m. CT.
This game? The Cubs started out well, but Matthew Boyd had a rare bad outing and the opener of the three-game set went to the Brewers 8-4.
The first inning, though, was good Cubs baseball off Milwaukee’s rookie phenom Jacob Misiorowski. Michael Busch led off with a single and Kyle Tucker walked.
