The Chicago Cubs started their season on a sour note, losing to the Los Angeles Dodgers by a score of 4-1.
Sloppy play in the field and walks contributed to the Cubs dropping their first game of the regular season.
Luckily, the Cubs can try to split the two-game series against the Dodgers as they play them again today.
The second game of the series featured an exciting moment that featured the Cubs top-ranked prospect, Matt Shaw.

Officially, a big leaguer
Shaw is officially a big leaguer now and will look to remain the Cubs starting third baseman for the rest of the season.
Shaw’s strong spring helped win him the job, hitting .313/.421/.375 in six games.
Hopefully, getting his first knock out of the way can help Shaw put more of them together.
