Parker Meadows and Wilmer Flores wow in West Michigan

Joey Wentz was in three true outcomes mode in his second start of the season, but the offense poured it on late for a comeback victory. Jamie Westbrook tied things up with a solo shot to lead off the ninth, and the Cubs bullpen came unglued, wild pitching in a pair of go-ahead runs.

Wentz needed 72 pitches to get through 3 13 innings. He punched out seven hitters in that stretch, walking two, but all three hits allowed were home runs as the Cubs dropped a four-spot on him. All three rode a strong wind out to right field, but fastball location was part of the culprit as well.
