WASHINGTON — In one of the biggest moments of the game — two runners in scoring position as the Cubs trailed by a run — rookie catcher Miguel Amaya, in his long-awaited major-league debut, stepped up to the plate.
“That pitcher was throwing a lot of fastballs hard inside,” Amaya said of Nationals reliever Hunter Harvey. “I put in my mind: just make contact, let the barrel go to the baseball and let it happen.”
