Hayden Wesneski had just pitched one of the best games of his career, throwing 6 1/3 scoreless innings in the Cubs’ 5-0 win Sunday over the Angels. When he was asked about his own outing, Wesneski was matter of fact and more concerned with helping the Cubs get a needed victory than what he did personally.

When he was asked about Shota Imanaga, Wesneski gushed.

“Man, he’s something else. He’s a great person,” Wesneski said. “You wouldn’t know if he had a good day or bad day. It just seems like every day is a good day for him.
