Cubs left-hander Shota Imanaga turned to look over his left shoulder at the video board showing the replay of the home run he just had given up in the fourth inning Friday.

In a game the Cubs would go on to lose 12-5 to the White Sox, it was the third homer Imanaga had yielded, all on fastballs that caught too much of the strike zone.

This one to Austin Slater was on the outer third of the plate, a little above belt-high, right where he could drive the ball. And the pitch clocked in at just 88.
