PHOENIX – Cub left-hander Shota Imanaga watched left fielder Ian Happ catch an inning-ending flyout and pointed to the sky. In a game the Cubs would win 4-3 against the Diamondbacks on Saturday, Imanaga had just breezed through the sixth inning.
Then he went out for the next inning as well, finishing his night after seven, while limiting Arizona to one run and three hits.
Imanaga had 10 days in between appearances, only throwing bullpens after his Opening Day start in Tokyo rather than making another spring training start.
