Watch: Chicago Cubs top prospect gets his first big league hit

Sloppy play in the field and walks contributed to the Cubs dropping their first game of the regular season.

Luckily, the Cubs can try to split the two-game series against the Dodgers as they play them again today.

The second game of the series featured an exciting moment that featured the Cubs top-ranked prospect, Matt Shaw.

After going 0-4 in his debut, Shaw finally got his first big league hit, which came on an infield single against Dodgers left-hander Jack Dreyer.

Officially, a big leaguer

Shaw is officially a big leaguer now and will look to remain the Cubs starting third baseman for the rest of the season.

Shaw’s strong spring helped win him the job, hitting .313/.421/.375 in six games.

Hopefully, getting his first knock out of the way can help Shaw put more of them together.
