“Wisdom begins in wonder,” is a quote that is attributed to Socrates. Tonight, Wander was greater than Wisdom as the Tampa Bay Rays phenom’s three-hit performance powered the Rays to a 6-5 win over the Chicago Cubs.
Justin Steele was the starter for the Cubs and he made quick work of the Rays in the first inning. He needed only seven pitches he retired Randy Arozarena, Wander Franco, and Harold Ramirez in order. Wisler allowed one baserunner in the bottom-half of the inning when he walked Seiya Suzuki, extending Suzuki’s on-base streak to all 11 games of his MLB career.
