It’s been a slow adjustment process for Cubs first base prospect Matt Mervis, even though he has been hitting the ball with authority. In general, he hasn’t been making enough contact, and when he has, a bunch of his balls in play have simply found gloves. But Mervis found away around that tonight. After all, there are no gloves out in the bay.
That was Mervis’ third home run of the season. The Cubs could really use a hot streak from their big first baseman.
