WASHINGTON — Just over three weeks remain in the 2018 regular season and the Cubs are still waiting for Carl Edwards Jr. to completely turn the corner.
Granted, he's been close.
Edwards looked to be finding his form as August came to a close, but then he hit another speed bump, struggling against the Brewers (Monday) and Nationals (Thursday and Saturday) in back-to-back-to-back appearances as he walked four guys and gave up three hits while recording just four outs.
His final line could've been much worse Saturday in D.C. if not for the generous call from home plate umpire Jansen Visconti, ringing up Nationals catcher Spencer Kieboom on a full count pitch that came in below the strike zone.
