Cubs’ Frank Schwindel achieves career first as Schwisdom keeps powering offense

CINCINNATI – The nickname rolls off the tongue – Schwisdom – and when Cubs fans needed it the most last year, Frank Schwindel and Patrick Wisdom gave the Cubs a power-hitting duo to soften the blow of losing Bryzzo at the trade deadline.

Now, the pair’s bats have heated up again, and they’re providing the kind of consistent power the offense was missing early on in the season.

In the Cubs’ 11-4 win over the Reds on Tuesday at Great American Ball Park, Schwindel logged the first multi-homer game of his career. The game before was Wisdom’s fourth straight with a home run.
