| Team | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | R | H | E |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brewers | 1 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 10 | 17 | 2 |
| Cubs | 0 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 7 | 11 | 1 |
Usually when a team has their ace starting a game along with the first start from the slick-gloved centerfielder they signed in the offseason, it’s the first game of the year. For the Brewers (15-11), it didn’t happen until the 26th against the Cubs (16-10).
Ben Sheets (4-0) pitched kinda like you expect pitchers to pitch on Opening Day. In his defense, it was his first start since missing time with a muscle pull. Jason Marquis (1-1) started for the Cubs, pretty much ensuring they didn’t have a chance at winning.
The offense for both teams was in high gear, though, pumping out 17 runs and 28 hits. On most days, 7 runs would get you a win, but not for the Cubs. The loss puts them in a virtual tie for first with the Cardinals.
The same two teams tonight with Jeff Suppan trying to win against Ryan Dempster at 8:05pm EDT.
