Cubs 12, Brewers 0: Cade Horton is ready for the season
The Cubs blew out their division rivals, or at least some minor leaguers wearing Brewers uniforms.
Cubs right-hander Cade Horton, who shapes up to be the No. 2 starter after Matthew Boyd begins the season, had an excellent six-inning outing against the Brewers Sunday at Sloan Park. Okay, so it was against a team of Brewers minor leaguers, as all the MLB Brewers had departed for Milwaukee Sunday, as they have exhibition games there against the Reds Monday and Tuesday.
