Wesneski (1-0) allowed one run on five hits over seven frames Monday, striking out seven and earning a win in the Cubs' 10-1 triumph over the Athletics.
Wesneski covered just six innings in a pair of shaky outings to begin the 2023 season, but he turned things around Monday against a subpar Athletics lineup. He gave up a run on four hits in the first two innings before cruising through his final five frames, racking up 11 total swinging strikes in the process. Wesneski is now sporting an 11:6 K:BB and a 4.15 ERA this season. He's lined up to face the Dodgers at home this weekend.
