Cubs right-hander Andrew Kittredge threw a slider to Tyler Stephenson that started just off the plate and kept moving away. Stephenson, having just seen two sinkers moving back toward him, took the bait.
Stephenson’s whiff, on Kittredge’s ninth pitch, sealed it: Kittredge had just thrown the first immaculate inning of his veteran career.
“Honestly, it was kind of building off [Tuesday] night, where I was not in the zone as much as I’d like to be,” Kittredge said after the Cubs’ 6-1 win Wednesday against the Reds.
