Remember the game May 10 in San Diego? The one where Frank Schwindel hit a ball that was caught at the wall, just a couple of feet short of a home run that would have given the Cubs the lead in the ninth inning?
Welp. We had another one of those Wednesday evening in Cincinnati. Situation: One out, Cubs runners on first and second. Willson Contreras, who hadn’t played since Saturday due to a hamstring issue, stepped up to pinch-hit.
That wouldn’t have been a home run if not for Nick Senzel’s excellent catch.
