In the top of the seventh inning, Padres pinch hitter Gavin Sheets crushed a line drive to left field. Happ rushed over towards the wall and somehow made it in time to catch the ball for an out. He flipped over on the ground until the wall stopped him from continuing his roll, but the ball ended up in his glove for the out.

Ian Happ’s journey brought him to his 1,000th game in a Chicago Cubs uniform Saturday. He became the 32nd player in franchise history and just the ninth since 1969 to reach the milestone.

CHICAGO – Cubs reliever Nate Pearson stood on the mound, jaw dropped, hands atop his head in disbelief. Ian Happ sat in the dirt in foul territory up the left-field line, shifted to a knee and tossed in the baseball that he had no business catching on Saturday afternoon.
