Another season of Cubs baseball at Wrigley Field gets started Monday when the team hosts the Rockies to kick off a three-game series. The home opener is slated to start at 1:20 p.m. CT, unless the day’s rainy weather forecast manages to get in the way.
A tough start to the season for the Cubs finally turned their way Sunday when the team toppled the Rangers, 9-5, to claim their first win of the season. Christopher Morel, who hit a three-run homer in the victory, has been a bright spot early on.
Things are more worrisome on the mound, where the team lost Opening Day starter Justin Steele to injury early in his first start. Shota Imanaga, the team’s big free agent addition to the rotation, will make his MLB debut after he showed some exciting flashes during spring training. The Rockies will have Dakota Hudson starting Monday.
