<p>MILWAUKEE – Certainly, that was not what <b>David Peterson</b> wanted to happen with his first pitch in a <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/cubs" >Cubs</a> uniform.</p><p>The newly acquired lefty’s first offering Saturday was lined out to center field for a leadoff homer, <b>Jackson Chourio</b> welcoming the longtime Met to a battle for the NL Central that the Brewers have owned in recent years.</p><p>If the Cubs are going to change that, they’ll need Peterson to deliver while they face an injury situation so bad that they have an entire rotation and their closer on the IL at the same time.</p><p>Despite the homer, Peterson’s first impression ended up being a good one. He allowed just two runs in 5 2/3 innings and departed with the lead, playing a big role in the Cubs’ 8-2 win.</p><p>“Obviously not how I wanted to start,” Peterson said. “But [my mindset was], ‘Give me another ball, and we’ll see how it goes.’”</p><p>“He gave us everything we could have hoped for tonight,” manager <b>Craig Counsell</b> said.</p><p>While Cubs fans were getting their first sampling of the David Peterson Experience, Cubs outfielder <b>Michael Conforto</b> had seen it plenty of times before, the two teammates again after spending plenty of time together with the Mets.</p><p>“I think it’s going to work out really well for him with this team,” Conforto said before Saturday’s game.
