Game Summary
Chicago Cubs defeated the Atlanta Braves 8-4. The Cubs prevailed thanks to a big day at the plate and a strong outing from Shota Imanaga. Alex Bregman went 3-for-4 with a home run, triple and double and drove in four, while Pete Crow-Armstrong had three hits, including two homers and a triple, and drove in three. Imanaga worked six innings, allowing one run on four hits with eight strikeouts and no walks. The turning point came in the fifth, when Crow-Armstrong’s RBI triple and Bregman’s two-run triple produced a three-run frame that pushed Chicago’s lead to 6-0; Atlanta’s ninth-inning rally fell short.
