"Cade Horton got the start and was cruising along before suddenly having to leave one batter into the 2nd inning with right forearm discomfort."
"Cleveland jumped ahead against Cubs reliever Hunter Harvey in the bottom of the 7th, beginning with a solo homer by Gabriel Arias."
"The Cubs had runners on first and third with nobody out in the top of the 6th and proceeded to hit three consecutive pop-ups to the left side to strand the runners."
"Horton being out long-term would be a big blow, but it does not mean the season is over."
The Cubs faced the Guardians in 2026, with Cade Horton leaving early due to right forearm discomfort. Colin Rea replaced him and performed well initially. A miscommunication allowed Pete Crow-Armstrong to reach second base, leading to a run. The Guardians took the lead with a solo homer and a two-run shot from Chase DeLauter. The Cubs struggled offensively, stranding runners in a key moment. Despite the loss, the Cubs remain hopeful for the season, recalling a previous playoff run after losing a key player.
