It’s a rough start to the season for the Brewers. In a cold, windy day in Chicago, the offense was also cold. They managed just four hits as the Cubs got to Brandon Woodruff, and the Cubs took a 9-0 win this afternoon.
It was not a good first start for Brandon Woodruff. His control was off at the start, as he allowed four straight baserunners. Three of those came from walks, and one on a hit by pitch, which scored the first Cubs run. He only threw five strikes in his first seventeen. The Cubs then got two more runs on productive outs, and they had a 3-0 lead after one inning.
