Earlier this week in Chicago, the Philadelphia Phillies were dominating.
Down by seven runs and on the cusp of losing their tenth straight game, Cubs manager David Ross had seen enough. He called for Eric Sogard to make his third pitching appearance since June 25.
Sogard is an infielder.
Before this season, he had never taken the mound.
