The Milwaukee Brewers took their first game of 2023 Saturday afternoon, beating the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field by a final of 3-1 in Brandon Woodruff’s first start.
Milwaukee got off to a quick start, as Mike Brosseau walked to lead off the game and Christian Yelich walked to put runners at first and second with one out. William Contreras then grounded into a double play to get out of the inning.
Neither team had much offense from that point until the bottom of the sixth, when the Cubs finally broke through with a solo homer via Ian Happ, the first of the year for either team.
