Game Summary
Chicago Cubs defeated the Atlanta Braves 7-3. Chicago’s early offense — a three-run second inning keyed by Carson Kelly’s RBI groundout and Pete Crow-Armstrong’s two-run double — plus a two-run Crow-Armstrong homer in the sixth provided a cushion the Cubs never relinquished. Crow-Armstrong finished 4-for-5 with a double, a homer and four RBIs, while Nico Hoerner was 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs. David Peterson worked six strong innings (3 H, 1 R, 7 K) and was credited with the win, while Reynaldo López allowed five runs in three innings and took the loss. The Braves plated three in the seventh but could not close the gap.
