The Cubs and Brewers benches cleared after the fourth hit batter in the game, but Justin Steele and teammates kept their eyes on the ball in 9-0 win.
And then it was over. McCutchen said his piece. Heyward helped make peace. And Thompson grabbed a piece of bench, having been ejected for the backside bruiser.
Whether it turns into a six-month trend, the rotation through starts by veteran Kyle Hendricks and second-year lefty Justin Steele opened according to script. That’s a combined 0.87 ERA start to the season for a rotation that took an early hit with Wade Miley’s elbow inflammation that has him on the injured list and some general shakiness to the depth.
