The Cubs have put trust in their younger players, and their respective performances earned them opportunities to help the team reach the postseason.
Cubs reliever Luke Little celebrates a game-ending out during the ninth inning against the Giants on Sept. 6, 2023, at Wrigley Field.
With their win Wednesday, the Cubs moved 12 games over .500 for the first time since Sept. 18, 2019. Coupled with the Milwaukee Brewers’ loss in Pittsburgh, they pulled within 1 1/2 games of first place in the National League Central.Wicks was able to maintain aggressiveness in the zone once Seiya Suzuki’s two-out, three-run double in the bottom of the first off Giants lefty Alex Wood gave the Cubs a lead they never relinquished.
“We try to navigate as best we can, we try to fill holes,” Ross explained. “It’s my job to navigate that and take the heat if I need to: ‘I make the dumbest moves in the world. Why didn’t I throw this guy or that guy?’ Sometimes there’s stuff in this seat that you don’t want everybody to know. Protecting the players is everything.”
