Chicago baseball report: Cubs' Andrew Kittredge throws immaculate inning - and Drew Thorpe's long road back to Sox
Briefly

The Cubs secured a victory against the Cincinnati Reds, avoiding a three-game sweep, and are now preparing for games in St. Louis and Toronto, aiming to improve their offense. The White Sox have struggled within their division, holding a record of 7-20 against the American League Central teams. They will host the Cleveland Guardians and Detroit Tigers at home, having faced difficulties against both teams. Andrew Kittredge of the Cubs accomplished an immaculate inning, striking out three batters on nine pitches, highlighting an exceptional performance at Wrigley Field.
Kittredge became only the sixth known pitcher in Cubs history to throw an immaculate inning in a 6-1 win against the Cincinnati Reds when he struck out Austin Hayes, Gavin Lux and Tyler Stephenson in the seventh inning, putting each of them away on a whiff.
Just trying to make pitches at that point. Honestly, it was kind of building off last night where I was not in the zone as much as I like to be and today I just kind of made it more of a conscious effort to be in the zone and it just kind of fell into place.
