CHICAGO -- “Ok,” David Bednar thought to himself. “Just trust it and let it rip."
If he didn’t, then odds are those two runners in scoring position would come home and the game would be over. Nursing a 4-3 lead at Wrigley Field Sunday, and just one day removed from the most lopsided loss in franchise history, a loss would be even more demoralizing after the bullpen had once again picked up the team.
Behind 2-0 to Wilson Contreras, it was time to pump heat.
“Just trying to blow some doors [off],” Bednar said.
