Sunday was a rough one for the Chicago Cubs.
By the end of their afternoon bout against the New York Yankees, the visitors were leaving the Bronx with an 18-4 drubbing to their name. It was a tough day at the ballpark all around for the Cubs, but Frank Schwindel may have gotten the worst of it.
Schwindel’s usually the Cubs’ first baseman, but on Sunday he was tapped to pitch the eighth inning with how poorly Chicago’s bullpen was fairing. In his one inning of work, Schwindel allowed two hits and one comical home run to Kyle Higashioka that looked absolutely unreal.
