Cade Horton handled his second New York City traffic jam Saturday much better than his first. After sitting through a 90-minute bus ride to the ballpark, Horton twice worked out of trouble against the New York Mets’ best hitters to win his major league debut for the Chicago Cubs.

Horton reached the majors thanks to a collaborative process that began during spring training in Arizona: "He's going to impact this team."

Per Tommy Birch of The Des Moines Register, pitcher Cade Horton is expected to join the Cubs for their series against the New York Mets on the road this weekend. Horton, 23, is the No. 2 player in Chicago's farm system, per MLB.com.
