Swanson, Stroman help Cubs beat Brewers 4-0 on opening day

Associated Press  

CHICAGO — Right after it was over, Dansby Swanson soaked in one more moment in a very special debut with the Chicago Cubs. “Hearing ‘Go Cubs Go’ is a lot better when you’re on the team,” the All-Star shortstop said. Swanson had three hits and Marcus Stroman worked six scoreless innings, breezing past baseball’s first pitch-clock violation on his way to a 4-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday on opening day. “We put some runners on, but there wasn’t many hits for both sides today,” Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell said. “And he said his dad told him to do it.” TRAINER’S ROOM Brewers: 3B Luis Urías appeared to tweak his left hamstring trying to beat out a comebacker in the ninth.
