May 15 was just one weird day all the way around. It rained most of the morning in Northern Illinois as the temperature sat in the mid-50s. At several points, I wondered how this was going to affect the performance of pitcher Ryan Jensen, the Cubs’ 2019 first-round pick, who was slated to pitch for high-A South Bend against the Beloit Snappers.
Jensen’s start on Saturday night was his second of the 2021 season, the first of which was a little laborious. He gave up four runs in three innings, including a couple of home runs that had no trouble clearing the fence.
