The Chicago Cubs’ Sunday revolved around three pitchers: Colten Brewer, Hayden Wesneski and Shota Imanaga.
Chicago Cubs starter Hayden Wesneski pitches during the first inning against the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday, July 7, 2024, at Wrigley Field. But later on Sunday, Cubs starting pitcher Hayden Wesneski helped deliver a knockout punch pitching 6 1/3 innings of shutout ball on one hit as the Cubs beat the Los Angeles Angels 5-0 in front of a Wrigley Field crowd of 34,355.
The Cubs benefited from a strong outing by Wesneski , who allowed just one hit and a walk in the game. But there was a scary moment when the right-hander was hit in the pitching hand on a comebacker from Luis Guillorme.“The ball caught me in the middle fingers and those are basically the fingers I need,” Wesneski said.
“I can tell the Chicago Cubs fans and my fans in Japan the good news,” Imanaga said through an interpreter. “When I was going into the meeting, I wasn’t sure what the topic was about. The team has plenty of amazing players and when I found out I was chosen, it made me very happy.”“The competition in this game is so hard and so intense and for most of us, we have to have this game face on,” Counsell said. “But the way he competes, there is just a joy in the way he competes.
“I was frustrated and made mistakes. That’s no excuse. There is a lot I can prove out there that I can’t do something like that.”
