Cubs right-hander Hayden Wesneski’s quality start Wednesday was rendered moot as the Cubs were shutout for the second time this season in a 3-0 loss to the Padres .
“I really think the fastball command has been really good, sinker and four-seam,” Wesneski said after limiting the Padres to three runs in six-plus innings. “And then I think the biggest thing in all this is I’m getting ahead. The first pitch, I’m getting ahead, and so it makes it to where they either have to swing the first pitch – which makes some hitters uncomfortable because they’d rather see a pitch – or they take it for a strike, and then I’m in the driver’s seat.
