After rookie Hayden Wesneki’s last start, in Pittsburgh, he was asked if pitching in the big-leagues is as easy as he’s made it look. He chuckled.
“No, it’s really not,” he said. “There’s a lot of preparation that goes into it. Plus, I have two great catchers that helped me out with this kind of stuff – and then the staff on top of it. They’ve made it really easy to be comfortable here. But no, I’m just on a roll right now.”
That roll continued into Wednesday against the Phillies at Wrigley Field. In the Cubs’ 4-2 win he held Philadelphia to one run through five-plus innings.
