PHOENIX (AP) — Cody Bellinger hit a go-ahead solo homer in the sixth inning, Hayden Wesneski threw four innings of scoreless relief and the Chicago Cubs beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-3 on Wednesday.
The Cubs took two of three in the hard-fought series, which included two extra-inning games.
Wesneski (1-0) earned the win in his first game of the season just hours after being called up from Triple-A Iowa. The right-hander saved a tired bullpen, giving up just one hit while striking out two.
“I thought it was our best pitching performance considering everything,” Cubs manager Craig Counsell said.
Wesneski said he got the call to the big leagues at 1 a.m. after last night’s Triple-A game and had to fly from Des Moines, Iowa, to Chicago before taking another flight to Phoenix. He got to Chase Field about 1 1/2 hours for the afternoon game and delivered a gem on essentially zero sleep.
