Mark Leiter Jr. did something Wednesday afternoon against the Rays that no Cubs reliever ever had done before: give up a pair of 2-run homers that were the opposing team's only runs.
The first.
Jonathan Villar's single at Pittsburgh on April 13 made him the fifth Cubs newcomer this season to make a hit.
When 5 more do so, the total count will be 1,500 different players who have made hits.
