The Los Angeles Dodgers got on top early against Chicago Cubs rookie Hayden Wesneski, and it was tough sledding from there for the Cubs in a 9-4 loss, their second in a four-game series.
Chicago Cubs right fielder Seiya Suzuki lifts his bat after striking out to end the seventh inning against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Wrigley Field on April 22, 2023, in Chicago.
But this is how good it’s going for the Cubs more than three weeks into a season with middling expectations even on a cold, miserable day of flurries and Dodgers home runs:Cubs starting pitcher Hayden Wesneski delivers against the Dodgers in the first inning Saturday at Wrigley Field. Since then, he hasn’t made it through the fifth inning in three of four starts, and it took surviving a shaky first two innings against the woeful Athletics to do it in that one.“Maybe I need to have better preparation going into a start and do something a little differently,” said Wesneski, who has given up 10 runs in the first and second innings of starts, including two Saturday — and four in all the other innings combined.
And there’s the right-hander’s dramatic platoon splits, with lefties feasting again Saturday, including Dodgers rookie James Outman, whose first career four-hit game included a second-inning homer against Wesneski, a fourth-inning RBI single off him and a second homer off Brad Boxberger in the ninth.
