Cubs' Aroldis Chapman: Picks up first victory in Cubs uniform Friday
Chapman pitched a perfect 10th inning against the Brewers on Friday to pick up the win, striking out the side on 11 pitches.
Analysis:
After the Cubs had tied the game in the ninth on an Addison Russell infield single, Chapman was called on in the 10th to keep things knotted at 4-4. He complied in impressive fashion, first mowing down the pinch-hitting Jake Elmore before fanning Ryan Braun and Chris Carter as well. The 28-year-old lefty has been outstanding over his last 10 appearances, giving up just a single earned run over the 10.2 innings covering that span, and successfully converting all seven of his save opportunities.
