Brewers Host Important Early-Season Series With Cubs

It’s not “win-or-else” for the Chicago Cubs yet, but a troubling start has them trailing Milwaukee by four-and-a-half games a week into the 2019 season.  For years Miller Park has been called “Wrigley North,” but the Brewers’ division title may make those tickets harder to get for the people traveling north.  Brandon Woodruff starts tonight’s (Friday’s) series opener with first pitch at 7:10 P-M.  He’ll be opposed by lefty Jose Quintana who won a critical game last September to temporarily slow the Brewers’ charge to the top.
