Joshua Báez went 0-for-5 and struck out three times in a win for the Cardinals over the Cubs.

After arguably the best debut for any MLB hitter in the history of the sport, Báez was given an unfriendly reminder of how difficult it can be. It would have been fun to see him follow up his historic three-homer game with a similar effort, but it wouldn’t have been very realistic. Expect to see some similar games for Báez over these final few weeks, but with some efforts similar to that first contest as well.
