The Cubs were hoping to beat the Diamondbacks on Wednesday afternoon to not only win the series but also finish their nine-game West Coast road trip with a winning record. Chicago was able to do just that thanks to a tremendous pitching performance by the newly recalled Hayden Wesneski, who saved the battered bullpen and earned the victory.
Arizona took an early lead in the bottom of the 1st inning when Ketel Marte blasted a leadoff home run against Cub starter Jordan Wicks. The lefty had some traffic on the bases but kept the deficit at 1-0 through four frames.
