PITTSBURGH – Cubs third baseman Patrick Wisdom had a simple answer for what he’d been working on pregame at PNC Park earlier this week.
“Hitting home runs to center field,” he said.
The reporters gathered around him Tuesday night chuckled. But Wisdom wasn’t joking.
“As funny as that sounds,” he added. “I was just trying to free up my mind and free up some thoughts, and get external with it and drive the ball to the center of the field.”
In the Cubs’ 14-5 win on Wednesday, he homered to center field for fifth-inning insurance runs, logging his second home run in as many days.
