"Cade Horton got the start was outstanding for the North Siders, allowing just a James Wood solo home run in the 4th and an RBI single to Nasim Núñez in the 5th. Those runs were matched by an Amaya solo shot and a double by Nico Hoerner to make it 6-2."
"The Cubs blew it wide-open on a three-run jack by Ian Happ in the bottom of the 6th. Carson Kelly followed with a bases-loaded walk to force in one more and bring the eventual final to 10-2."
"It's very hard to lose a game when you score 10 runs and get a quality start. The Cubs are officially in the win column for 2026, which is always a good thing to get out of the way."
The Cubs rebounded from a season-opening loss to the Nationals with a decisive 10-2 victory. Key moments included two four-run innings, highlighted by a strong pitching performance from Cade Horton. Horton allowed only two runs over 6.1 innings. The offense was led by Miguel Amaya, who hit a home run, and Ian Happ, who contributed a three-run homer. The win marks a positive start for the Cubs in the 2026 season, setting the stage for future success.
