Michael Hermosillo grew up a Chicago Cubs fan, and his 1st hit for his home-state team is a home run in a win over the Cincinnati Reds: ‘I wish you could replay that 1,000 times in your head and feel that again’

Hermosillo’s season has been a contrast of consistency on the field for Iowa — from his mindset, approach, the work he put in and production — and inconsistency with injuries. He broke his right hand in late March when a car pulled out in front of him as he left the Cubs complex in Mesa, Ariz., sidelining him until the beginning of June. Then, when he appeared to be on the cusp of a call-up, Hermosillo strained his right hamstring and went on the Triple-A injured list July 23, causing him to miss 17 days.
