The 2019 Chicago Cubs season got off to a picture perfect start. Jason Heyward hit a lead off single and Kris Bryant showed his shoulder was healthy with a two-run bomb to left. The offense would go on to score 8 total runs on ten hits to beat their division foe Milwaukee Brewers 8-4.
On the offense side Daniel Descalso went 1-2 with an RBI in his Cubs debut, backup catcher candidate Taylor Davis went 1-2, and former Met Phillip Evans went 2-2 with a run scored.
2019 is going to be a huge year for Jen-Ho Tseng, who is coming off a very rough 2018, his first start was a big of a disappointment as he went 2 innings allowing 4 hits and 2 earned runs. It's still far too early to draw conclusions, but it was not an ideal start.
The rest of the pitchers performed well, Carlos Ramirez and Craig Brooks were the only other pitchers to allow runs. Rowan Wick, Alberto Baldonado, and Oscar De La Cruz each pitched a 1-2-3 frame.
The Cubs play the San Francisco Giants tomorrow afternoon. Tyler Chatwood will start for the Cubs, while star pitcher Madison Bumgarner will toe the line for the Giants.
