The Cubs were not going to stay undefeated forever, even in fake baseball mode. There were rolled innings, so you can’t really say for sure what would’ve happened, but the Cubs lost 10-4 to the Indians today.

Alec Mills looked very Alec Mills-like in his two innings (all the starters so far have pretty much just looked like themselves, which is nice). He had a really impressive changeup working, too:
Mills threw his changeup just 16% of the time last year, but it was an extremely effective pitch for him. .139/.275/.306 against, 32.5% whiff rate, solidly positive pitch by pitch values. Obviously it has to balance with the other pitches, but he could probably stand to increase.
