– The Chicago Cubs opened the 2020 baseball season with a 3-0 win over the Milwaukee Brewers Friday at Wrigley Field, with new manager David Ross getting the win in his debut. Kyle Hendricks threw the first opening-night shutout since 2013 for the Cubs, allowing just three hits—all singles in the third, sixth, and ninth innings. Hendricks struck out nine and walked none. It was the first time in 46 years that a Cubs starter went the distance in an opening-night game, per USA Today. The last Chicago pitcher to do so was Bill Bonham in 1974.
