Anthony Rizzo likely would have driven in Willson Contreras in the first inning with a shot up the middle, but the shift was just sitting right there, ready to turn it into a routine out. Well played, Brewers.
The next time up, with Contreras again on base, Rizzo said shift this:

Rizzo put on a great battle against Chase Anderson, fouling them off until he got one he could get around on.
Now the question is: can the Cubs please add on? Or do we have to see if they can make another 2-0 lead stand up?
