CHICAGO — Putting the Chicago Cubs on the scoreboard for the first time in the 2020 regular season, center fielder Ian Happ smacked a two-run no-doubter on Friday. The third-inning dinger put the Cubs up 2-0 on the Milwaukee Brewers.

Nico Hoerner singled in the previous at-bat, and Happ plated him via his 422-foot blast at Wrigley Field. Brewers hurler Brandon Woodruff was victimized on the dinger.
