Rockies Lighten Up in 7th Inning Steal by Ben Brown!
The Cubs got some great pitching from the hard-throwing right-hander.
One day, I will be able to write up a Cubs recap and present a lot of highlights from the game. Today is not that day. (Though I do have SOME video to show you.
) The Cubs lost to the Rockies 4-3 at Salt River Fields in Scottsdale Saturday afternoon, another very warm day in the Phoenix area (84 degrees at game time, likely warmer tomorrow). A walkoff homer by a Rockies minor leaguer named Braxton Fulford off Grant Kipp won the game for Colorado, and obviously that means nothing for the 2026 regular season Cubs. The much bigger story of this game is Ben Brown, who had a very good outing.
Brown threw four innings, allowed two hits and one run, didn’t walk anyone and struck out six. He threw an efficient 51 pitches (39 strikes). Here’s a breakdown of Brown’s day [VIDEO].
