Wiggins gave up a run on a double, WP and single in the third. 

His final line tonight: 3 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 3 K

Through two starts at MB: 6 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 8 K

The walks completely stopping at Myrtle Beach is a very pleasant surprise.

The only logical conclusion one can make here is that the Cubs should add him to the 40-man and be the team's new closer to finish the season.

Am i crazy or does Wiggins command still look really bad? I'm happy with the results dont get me wrong but some of the ball placement he has right now will get punished at higher levels.
