"Neither team did anything in the first three frames, but Atlanta broke through in the bottom of the 4th when catcher Drake Baldwin hit a solo home run off of Imanaga. Chicago scored their only run when Nico Hoerner hit a game-tying RBI single against reliever Tyler Kinley in the top of the 5th."
"Imanaga pitched into the bottom of the 8th before getting pulled after an infield single by Michael Harris II with nobody out. The Braves jumped all over reliever Phil Maton, beginning with a go-ahead RBI double by pinch-hitter Mike Yastrzemski."
"Atlanta would add ultimately unnecessary insurance later in the frame when Mauricio Dubón ripped a two-run homer against Maton that got the margin to 4-1. The North Siders did nothing in the top of the 9th and went down to a fourth straight defeat. (Box score)"
"Why the Cubs Lost They went 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position, continuing a familiar theme from this recent slump. Stats That Matter Imanaga deserved a much better outcome: 7 IP, 2 R, 5 H, 6 K, and 0 BB."
