The question of who’s going to go out of the Cubs rotation when Shu014dta Imanaga returns was probably answered Monday evening in St. Louis.
Ben Brown threw three very good innings and then got pounded, serving up four two-run homers and the Cubs were blown out 8-2 in their first 2025 meeting with their arch-rivals.
Brown and Matthew Liberatore matched zeroes for the first three innings. He struck out three in that span. Here he gets Masyn Winn on an offspeed pitch [VIDEO].
The fourth inning brought the first of the two-run homers, hit by Lars Nootbaar.
