MESA, Arizona — It happened in the second inning of the Cubs’ 3-2 win over the Reds Monday afternoon.
Cubs top prospect Brennen Davis was hit by a pitch, one batter after Michael Hermosillo was also hit by Reds starter Graham Ashcraft. The ball hit Davis on the right knee. He stayed in the game, but after reaching second base on a groundout, he was removed for a pinch runner. Here’s what happened:
