"The Cubs were in a pretty good position heading into the bottom of the 6th before things kind of got away from them."
"The bullpen struggled for the first time all season and a couple of missed scoring chances didn't help."
"Imanaga was good, but a high pitch count forced him out a bit earlier than hoped: 5 IP, 1 R, 3 H, 4 K, and 1 BB."
"Happ was able to salvage a pretty rough beginning to the doubleheader in his final two at-bats."
The Cubs and Guardians split their Easter doubleheader, with the Cubs initially leading 3-0. Matt Shaw and Dansby Swanson hit home runs for Chicago. However, the bullpen faltered, allowing Cleveland to tie the game and eventually take the lead. Ian Happ's late home run brought the Cubs within one run, but they could not complete the comeback. Imanaga pitched well but was removed early due to a high pitch count. The Cubs' missed chances contributed to their loss.
