"Shōta Imanaga was on the mound for Chicago and was literally unhittable, allowing only a walk in six scoreless frames. The home team also failed to scratch the scoresheet against Pittsburgh starter Carmen Mlodzinski, despite plenty of traffic on the bases."
"The Cubs got first two runners on base in the bottom of the 6th and eventually loaded the bases with two out. They struck out three times and did not get anyone home in the frame."
"They went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position and stranded 11 men on base. Imanaga deserved a much better fate than he got: 6 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 9 K, and 1 BB."
