CHICAGO -- New Cubs reliever Andrew Kittredge experienced a wide range of emotions in the span of less than 24 hours, after he went from being booed off the mound Tuesday night to throwing an immaculate inning Wednesday afternoon against the Cincinnati Reds.
Kittredge, 35, threw nine pitches in the top of the seventh inning Wednesday, striking out all three batters he faced. It was the first immaculate inning by a Cubs pitcher since Hayden Wesneski's in 2022.
It's the first time Kittredge can recall throwing one.
"I was aware of it after the second strikeout," Kittredge said following the Cubs' 6-1 victory.
