Real or Not? Ozuna, Cain turn up the heat in NL Central race

Two of my favorite moves of the offseason were the Milwaukee Brewers signing free agent Lorenzo Cain and the St. Louis Cardinals acquiring Marcell Ozuna from the Marlins. Both were instrumental in wins on Tuesday.

The Brewers, a day after Chicago Cubs lefty Cole Hamels criticized their fans, embarrassed the Cubs 11-1. Cain went 1-for-1 and drew four walks, pushing his season OBP to .404. The Cubs played a terrible game. Their pitchers walked nine batters. They made three errors. The Brewers scored on a passed ball, wild pitch and bases-loaded hit batter, the first time a team has done that since 2006.
