Cubs 5, Brewers 4: Seventhinning Stretch Breaks Milwaukee's Back
CHICAGO. Two teams with very different expectations opened Thursday night at Wrigley Field.
On one side were the Milwaukee Brewers, considered favorites to win the National League Central Division, who defeated Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burns Hill to win six straight games in Chicago on the season.
On the flip side, the Chicago Cubs team looks like it's about to be rebuilt, but it's still talented enough to keep the Brewers having a hard time every day.
And that's exactly what happened when coverage of Milwaukee's 54th season was canceled as a pair of linebackers Ian Happeck, Jake Cousins seventh in line, the Brewers sank 5-4, third only occasionally for teams. Conference opening day.
"We're at the start of a marathon," said coach Craig Counsel, who led his team 15-4 against the Cubs last season and 11 consecutive runs from April 24 to September. 18. “Today was a good ball game. The field was very large. In fact, the entire field was large.
“They need a maximum of two runs and we get rid of them very quickly.”
ACCOUNTING: Cubs 5, Brewers 4

Burns was good, but he only threw 83 innings in five innings while continuing his fury, cutter, with the fury of spring practice.
The attack lasted 10 blows, but in the eighth he took another one and delivered a very short blow. Lorenzo Kane competed in several races and rookie Victor Caratini also helped him double his first Brewers stick.
"It was like a game where we didn't time our shots," Counsel said. I don't know what we did with the runners who were in the lead (from 1 to 10), but it wasn't good.
"We had chances and got some balls right but missed the next shot."
Milwaukee lost 3-1 in seventh place as their fortunes equalized with former brewer Daniel Norris, who doubled up against Cain and then sided with Mike Brosso.
The story goes on
Colten Wong advanced on Cain with the base. This resulted in Willie Adams, who scored twice on the double and scored the first three goals, to score a double against Chris Martin from left field.
A double hit by Adams Kane and Wong finished third. Christian Yelich fired a volley to equalize the left flank and Wong came in easily and with Hupp's weak hands to make it 3-3.
Aaron Ashby scored several points around Clint Frazier's brace in the seventh round when Counsell pulled Cousins to the right to face shooter Wilson Contreras.
Four throws down the Cousins line hit Contreras, bringing a blinding glare and some angry words to catch the Cubs, who had a piece of dust with Milwaukee shooters in the past.
Just follow the double wall in the middle of the steps.
A single shot from Rhodey Telle, a double from Victor Caratini on the Brewers' first throw, and a sacrificial throw from Cain put Milwaukee 5-4 in the eighth.
However, Brosso took the win in the second round to a draw, with David Robertson running ninth to end the Cubs' game.
The Brewers fell to 28-25-1 on Opening Day, 16-16-1 on the road and 12-12-1 in 1998 when they made it to the NL.

Kyle Hendrix played the entire game, starting his first day against the Brewers at Wrigley Field in 2020, and went 10-7, averaging 3.30 wins in 27 of his 27 career games against Milwaukee.
So it's no wonder he held on to one of his first three bursts as he scored six and dropped two notches.
But the Brewers took fourth with Andrew McCutchen's first song starting from the right. Hunter Renfro followed with one shot and Hendrix defeated Omar Narvaez 2-0 to load the bases.
Kane hit the ground off Frank Schwindel's first raw shot that allowed McCutch to score. Then Jace Peterson stumbled upon the right rope, but actually a big purchase in Chicago, Seiya Suzuki.
Burns, whose best result in the Cactus League came late Saturday, wasn't as strict at first.
Chicago Pioneer Rafael Ortega reversed the path he took last season, 58 straight shots before releasing his first free pass and then a major league record.
Burns then took a double and a step in the second before recovering to hit the boards in the third.
He aired four times in a row and retired seven times in a row when Suzuki and Jason Hayward performed the song that opened the Cubs to fifth place. He kicked victim Patrick Wisdom, leveling with Suzuki, but it didn't happen. Nico Horner of 9 got up.
In a 1–1 draw, Burns dropped a slipper off the plate a little farther, Horner jumped on him and sent him to left center to leave the Brewers behind for the first time that day.
Burns hit seven homers for 167 overs in 28 games in 2021; Hoerner arrived with three career owners, all of whom will appear in 2019.

Hendrix exited the fifth room after allowing Rowdy Tellez to sing the title song, bringing Renfro out at the right time along with Narvaez.
The Cubs faced Norris - a 6.64 ERA in 18 games in a Milwaukee jersey last season - and played in a doubles match against Tyrone Taylor.
With 83 points, Burns failed to throw sixth and was replaced by Ashby. Burns completed four throws, three runs and three four-stroke hits in his five work bursts.
