The 98-mph fastball sizzled over the inside part of the plate as Reds outfielder Yasiel Puig unleashed a big swing – and miss – for the final out in the top of the sixth inning Wednesday at Wrigley Field.
The guy on the mound turned to pump his fist and scream – then pumped his fist again and screamed one more time, as the crowd 37,000 strong let out torrents of “Yuuuuuuu” as loud as anyone in the place had ever heard.
And just like that the Cubs had their impact pitching acquisition before the trade deadline.
