The Cubs edged the Guardians 1‑0 in a throwback to the 1968 “Year of the Pitcher,” with a single run scored via a walk, pinch‑runner, sac bunt and hit. The win was the Cubs’ first 1‑0 victory since Aug. 1, 2025, and came in a 2:37‑minute game broadcast on Marquee Sports Network.
Edward Cabrera delivered six scoreless innings, allowing one hit and five walks over 97 pitches, 51 of which were strikes. Despite the strike‑throwing issue, he kept the Guardians off balance and the defense, highlighted by a key play from Michael Busch and a stop by Miguel Amaya, secured the shutout.
