Tsuyoshi Wada had an excellent season debut Wednesday but it took a total team effort to win this one.
In Japan, Tsuyoshi Wada was nicknamed "Dr. K" for all the strikeouts he had. Over 1,444u2154 innings he struck out 1,329, or 8.3 per nine innings. That figure isn't all that great by MLB standards -- it would rank tied for fourth among current Cubs starters if Wada had enough innings to qualify -- but Wada did better than that in his first 2015 start for the Cubs.
He struck out the first four batters he faced and nine overall in 4u2154 innings.
