The only run came after a walk, a pinch‑runner, a sacrifice bunt and a single that brought the runner home, mirroring the low‑scoring games of 1968.
Edward Cabrera went six scoreless innings, throwing 97 pitches with only 51 strikes, but kept the Guardians off balance. Cubs defense, highlighted by Michael Busch’s play and Miguel Amaya’s out at third, sealed the victory.
