The Cubs got their first look at new addition Shu014dta Imanaga as he took the mound Saturday at Camelback Ranch against the Dodgers. There was a lot to like from Imanaga but also one costly mistake as Los Angeles went on to win.
Chicago was able to jump ahead in the top of the 2nd inning when Matt Mervis mashed a solo shot to center. Imanaga made his aforementioned mistake in the bottom of the frame which resulted in a three-run homer off the bat of Andy Pages. Otherwise, things went very well for the Japanese lefty with five strikeouts in 2.
