Cincinnati Reds and Chicago Cubs series

Overview

The Cincinnati Reds and Chicago Cubs engaged in a series at Wrigley Field. The matchup initially centered on a pitching duel between Reds starter Chase Burns and Cubs lefty Shota Imanaga. Burns, managing arm fatigue while filling a primary role due to Hunter Greene’s injury, entered the contest with a 2.54 ERA.

In the subsequent game, the Reds secured a 7-5 victory to win the series, fueled by home runs from Hector Rodríguez, Dane Myers, and Tyler Stephenson. The Cubs' Shota Imanaga struggled, allowing six earned runs and three home runs over five innings. Analysts noted that Imanaga is the only left-handed pitcher to allow three or more home runs in a single game six times in one season. Following the loss, the Cubs remained tied with the Philadelphia Phillies for the lead in the National League wild card race.
