"Imanaga returned to his stellar form after a hiccup in Los Angeles: 7 IP, 0 R, 4 H, 5 K, and 1 BB."
"Happ also had a double and had three of the Cubs' five hits."
"One of the benefits of the rash of injuries suffered by the bullpen is the emergence of Brown as an option in high-leverage situations."
"He has not only rebounded through the first month of the season, but he might be pitching better than ever."
The Cubs secured their 10th straight home victory with a 2-0 win. Ian Happ's solo home run in the 2nd inning provided the lead. Shōta Imanaga pitched seven shutout innings, allowing four hits and striking out five. An insurance run in the 8th inning came from Happ's triple and a sacrifice fly by Seiya Suzuki. Ben Brown closed the game with two scoreless innings. Imanaga's performance marked a strong return after previous struggles, while Brown emerged as a reliable option in high-leverage situations.
