Cubs Edge Brewers, 5-4
Opening day festivities have begun throughout the league. Fans of the Milwaukee Brewers were eager to watch Collin McHugh square off against Masahiro Tanaka of the visiting Chicago Cubs. In the end, the Cubs won the game, 5-4, with Masahiro Tanaka leading the way. Nick Burdi closed it out for his 1st save.

It could have been a different outcome for Chicago, had it not been for Justin Upton, the five-time All-Star . Upton contributed a 2-run home run in the top of the second inning to put Chicago up, 2-0.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said Chicago manager Garrett Hansford. "It's usually not just one thing."
