MILWAUKEE – Cubs lefty Shota Imanaga knew he’d eventually face adversity on the mound, despite a historic start to his major-league career.
He called it back on May 1 in New York.
“There’s probably not that much data on me,” Imanaga said then, through interpreter Edwin Stanberry. “As they watch more video, they’re going to gather more data, and they’re going to have a plan of attack against me. So once that happens, just make an adjustment, and then I need to improve myself.”
A night like the Cubs’ 10-6 loss to the Brewers on Wednesday, when Imanaga allowed seven runs and eight hits in 4 u2153 innings, was bound to happen eventually.
