Tyler Chatwood allowed three runs in five innings and it could have been a lot worse Friday night if it wasn’t for Javier Baez, who keeps living up to the hype.
In the first inning, the San Diego Padres had the bases loaded with nobody out against Chatwood. The Cubs came out of the inning only trailing by one run, as Baez made yet another amazing play.
On a hard-hit ball by Eric Hosmer, Baez dove, not only keeping the ball from going to center field and allowing another run to score, but he nearly started a double play too.
Ultimately, Baez only got the force out at second base, but it was yet another gem from El Mago.

What an awesome season for Baez so far in 2018.
