The greatest third baseman in Cubs history went 2-for-4 with a double and 3 RBIs in a 7-6 win over the Pirates in Pittsburgh. What makes this debut more notable is that it was the first game of a doubleheader. In the nightcap, Santo went 1-for-3 with two more RBIs.
A September callup for a team that would finish fourth in the NL East, the former 12th-round draft pick went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in a loss to the Reds at Wrigley Field. Dascenzo is currently the Cubs minor league outfield and baserunning coordinator.
