Bellinger hits go-ahead homer as Cubs beat Diamondbacks to take series

Wesneski earned the win in his first game of the season just hours after being called up from Triple-A Iowa. The right-hander saved a tired bullpen, giving up just one hit while striking out two.

Wesneski said he got the call to the big leagues at 1 a.m. after last night's Triple-A game and had to fly from Des Moines, Iowa, to Chicago before taking another flight to Phoenix. He got to Chase Field about 1 1/2 hours for the afternoon game and delivered a gem on essentially zero sleep. “Filling up the zone, getting ahead,” Wesneski said. “It's hard to think when your brain's off, so just did my thing and didn't overthink it.”— launching a sweeper into the right-center seats — for a 3-2 lead. Pfaadt gave up three runs, including two earned, over seven innings.

“Going into extra innings two times in one series takes a toll on the bullpen, so going seven today was big,” Pfaadt said. “I think there's some good to come out of it, for sure.”It was the second baseman's second at-bat in a row with a homer after he hit a tying solo shot with two outs in the ninth during the team's come-from-behind 12-11 win on Tuesday. He followed Wednesday's homer with a double in the third and an RBI single in the fifth that tied the game at 2-all.
