CHICAGO -- Blake Snell looked as comfortable as a duck in water on Wednesday night when he made his final start of his rookie season in rainy conditions at U.S. Cellular Field.
The left-hander hails from the Seattle area, so he pitched in similar conditions on many occasions while growing up in the shadow of Mount Rainier.
"I enjoy pitching in the rain," Snell said. "... It doesn't bother me. I think it's an advantage. It's cold, it's windy, it's rainy. I don't feel like the hitters -- they're cold, they come in and out.
