Cubs pitcher Swarmer picked up his first career win Saturday behind six innings of one-run ball, his second strong outing in as many tries in the big leagues.

It was awesome.” And yet, the 28-year-old who spent the canceled 2020 minor-league season pitching in an adult rec league is making a case to stick around for at least a little while. “It’s on the same plane as the fastball and then it just disappears,” Ross said. ‘You get real fastball swings from hitters.
