The inning started with Lorenzo Cain hitting Wainwright’s second pitch for a single to right field. Yasmani Grandal followed with a single before Wainwright retired Christian Yelich on a line drive that Harrison Bader chased down at the warning track.
“I’m trying not to think about that kind of stuff,” Wong said. “Obviously it’s cool to hit at the top of the lineup, get more (at-bats), get into more situations where I can help the team win. When you’re at the bottom, you’re in situations where you’re just trying to get on base and hopefully something happens. But hitting second is going to be fun because I’m in the thick of things.
