  "textContent": "<p>A sunny and 70-degree day at Wrigley Field turned cloudy and cold.</p><p>The weather mirrored <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https://chicago.suntimes.com/cubs\" >Cubs</a> left-hander <b>Matthew Boyd</b>'s performance. He struck out seven of the first 10 batters he faced before running into trouble in the fourth inning. He allowed a double and two singles, which allowed the first run of the inning to score. He walked <b>Joey Weimer</b> to load the bases before allowing a two-run single to <b>CJ Abrams</b>, giving the Nationals a two-run lead — Abrams was tagged out at second.</p><p>Boyd then induced a groundout for the second out of the inning, but allowed another run to score. Boyd allowed a single to <b>Keibert Ruiz </b>before right-hander <b>Ben Brown </b>replaced him.</p><p>Boyd allowed six runs on six hits with one walk and seven strikeouts in the team’s 10-4 Opening Day loss to a rebuilding Nationals team. Boyd’s velocity was up, and he generated 20 whiffs, four more than his single-game high in 2025, but he allowed an average exit velocity of 98.6 mph.</p><p>\"It just fell apart on him, frankly,\" manager <b>Craig Counsell </b>said. \"When he got in a big spot, he made some mistakes.\"</p><p>Abrams' two-run single in the fourth inning, with the bases loaded near the heart of the zone, was \"the big swing of the game,\" according to Counsell.</p><p>The Nationals ambushed Boyd with an aggressive approach, and when they made hard contact, it often found grass or left the ballpark due to the windy conditions at Wrigley Field.</p><p>On a Cubs team with World Series aspirations, the one question mark was whether their starting staff had enough to not only last a full season but also thrive in October. While it's early in the season, Boyd didn't do much to assuage those concerns.</p><p>Boyd said he needed to make an adjustment faster in the fourth inning.</p><p>\"Just generally speaking, my heater just started running away from me a little bit and just wasn't staying through it as much,\" Boyd said. \"Bad inning, and it just led to the ball kind of staying on plane and getting some barrels.\"</p><h3><b>Bats go quiet</b></h3><h3></h3><p>The Cubs’ lineup was quiet outside of first baseman <b>Michael Busch</b>. Busch was 3-for-4 with two doubles and a walk. He became the first Cub to reach base four times on Opening Day since<b> Anthony Rizzo </b>in 2019.</p><p>Outside of Busch, the offense got on base but couldn't convert those scoring chances into runs.</p><p>They threatened in the seventh after an RBI single on a bunt by <b>Pete Crow-Armstrong</b> to put runners on first and second with one out. The rally stalled after second baseman <b>Nico Hoerner </b>grounded into a double play.</p><p>The Cubs were 4-for-19 with runners in scoring position.</p><p>\"If you [that many run-scoring opportunities] in a game, that's pretty darn good,\" Counsell said. \"The next hit was kind of missing; the next big hit.\"</p><h3><b>Hoerner extended</b></h3><h3></h3><p>Hoerner reached an agreement with the Cubs on a <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https://chicago.suntimes.com/cubs/2026/03/26/cubs-to-extend-second-baseman-nico-hoerner\" >six-year contract extension</a>, a source confirmed to the Sun-Times.</p><p>Hoerner was set to reach free agency after the 2026 season and is coming off his most productive offensive season in 2025 — he posted a career-high 114 OPS+. He’s grown into a leader in the clubhouse and joins shortstop <b>Dansby Swanson</b> and Crow-Armstrong as core players signed long-term.</p><p></p><bsp-listcarousel class=\"PageListE\" data-module
