Cubs right-hander Ben Brown began his outing Wednesday with a walk. He ended it with a strikeout, fooling Giants star Matt Chapman on a curveball in the dirt.
“Ultimately, I really liked where I was at in the fifth inning after the double,” Brown said after the Cubs’ 3-1 loss. “It’s like, why did it take 100 pitches for me to get to where I wanted to be? But it’s all part of growing, and definitely some good moments and definitely some learning moments.”
