Shota Imanaga didn't exactly have a perfect day on the bump Thursday night, giving up four earned runs on 10 hits in 6.2 innings of work, concluding with a bizarre sub-60 MPH pitch, but he did everything he could to get karma running in his direction before taking the mound for a start at Wrigley.
On his way into the ballpark, Imanaga showed up with two Dunkin coffees in hand. While no one could fault a starting pitcher for needing so much caffeine on his start day, only one of the coffees was for him, the other was for Sam Bernero, a diehard fan who often takes photos of players showing up to the ballpark and shares them on social media.
