RecapJordan Wicks recorded his first save of the season on Sunday, working three scoreless innings to protect a two-run lead against the Cardinals.
Wicks scattered just three hits on the day while punching out four batters. He got eight whiffs in just 41 pitches on the afternoon — four of them on his changeup — while registering an elite CSW of 39 percent. The 26-year-old southpaw finishes the regular season with a 6.28 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and a 13/1 K/BB ratio over 14 1/3 innings in eight appearances. It remains to be seen if he’ll find his way onto the Cubs’ postseason roster.
