Patrick Wisdom #16 of the Chicago Cubs reacts after avoiding an inside pitch in the eighth inning against the Boston Red Sox at Wrigley Field on July 03, 2022 in Chicago, Illinois. The Red Sox won 4-2.After getting buzzed by a 95 mph pitch, Patrick Wisdom took a moment to regain his composure before smacking a 450-foot game-tying home run off Matt Strahm in the eighth inning.
“Love homers,” manager David Ross said. “Homers are nice, especially when you’re down one. I love them.”
Unfortunately for the Cubs, their ability to manufacture runs without an abundance of power during a four-game winnings streak fell short Sunday in a 4-2 loss to the Red Sox in 11 innings.
