Friday could have been a birthday to remember for Dodgers pitcher Bobby Miller.
The Illinois native was pitching against his favorite childhood team, the Chicago Cubs.
He had more than 30 friends and family members in attendance at Wrigley Field, most of them clumped together in two rows of seats directly behind home plate.
And after striking out the side in the first inning for a second consecutive game, the 25-year-old right-hander seemed primed to build on his strong start to the 2024 season.
