Andrew Kittredge: From Boos to Perfection in a Single Day<\/h2>\n\nChicago Cubs reliever Andrew Kittredge experienced a rollercoaster of emotions in less than 24 hours. He went from being booed on the mound on Tuesday night to pitching a spotless inning on Wednesday afternoon against the Cincinnati Reds.\n\nKittredge, 35, threw nine pitches in the top of the seventh inning on Wednesday, striking out the three batters he faced. This feat represents the first immaculate inning by a Cubs pitcher since the one achieved by Hayden Wesneski in 2022.\n\nFor Kittredge, it’s the first time he’s achieved an entry of this type in his career.\n\n\n
\n\n

\u201cI was aware of it after the second punch,\u201d Kittredge commented after the Cubs’ 6-1 victory. \u201cIt’s something very cool.\u201d<\/p>\n\nAndrew Kittredge<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\nKittredge struck out Austin Hays, Gavin Lux, and Tyler Stephenson using the same pitch sequence: sinker, sinker, slider.\n\n\n
\n\n

\u201cWe went sinker, sinker, slider\u201d, explained catcher Carson Kelly. \u201cSinker, sinker, slider. Sinker, sinker\u2026 slider? It was great to be a part of that\u201d.<\/p>\n\nCarson Kelly<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThis moment came less than a day after Kittredge, who was acquired from the Baltimore Orioles last week, suffered the loss after allowing four runs in a third of an inning against the Reds. He was booed by the crowd after being replaced.\n\n\n

\n\n

\u201cI try not to give it much importance,\u201d Kittredge said with a smile. \u201cI hope to hear more cheers than boos\u2026 I wasn’t in the zone as much as I would like [on Tuesday night]. Today I made a more conscious effort to be in the zone. And everything fell into place.\u201d<\/p>\n\nAndrew Kittredge<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nKittredge highlighted the confidence his manager showed in putting him back in a close game after he didn’t do well. His immaculate entry came when the Cubs were leading 2-0.\n\n\n

\n\n

\u201cThat’s what it’s all about being a Major League reliever,\u201d said Chicago manager Craig Counsell. \u201cThings don’t go well the night before, and they ask you to go out there and perform in the same situation and you do it.<\/p>\n\nCraig Counsell<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
