The Mexican-born pitcher, who’s started eight of his 17 games this year, boasts a 6-1 record and a 3.86 ERA while striking out 42 batters. But his biggest moment came Saturday — in a 11-0 win over the Pirates, Assad pitched the final three innings, allowed just one hit, and earned his first-ever MLB save. He celebrated by posting a game-used ball on Instagram with “First MLB Save PIT 7/25/26,” and the Cubs’ account shared the moment. Now, they head to St. Louis for a four-game series against the Cardinals, riding this momentum toward the postseason.
