Opening Day
And the Cubbies won 3-1. Anthony Rizzo was the hitting star, hitting a 2-run home run. And Jeff Samardzija pitched 8 innings for the win.
Carlos Marmol gave Cub fans a scare in the ninth, when he failed to get the save in a timely fashion. Dale Sveum used James Russell and (hopefully) the eventual closer for the Cubs, Kyuji Fujikawa, to nail down the win.
