On the first pitch of the game, Jake Arrieta threw a fastball down the middle of the plate, and Kansas City shortstop Alcides Escobar capitalized.

Escobar gave Royals fans something to cheer about. 1st pitch HR vs #Cubs.

Arrieta allowed another solo home run to Alex Gordon in the second inning, and the Cubs were losing 2-0 after the second inning.
