Overview

  • Shota Imanaga held the Yankees to one run over seven innings, striking out six and stifling New York’s lineup
  • Michael Busch’s leadoff homer and Dansby Swanson’s go-ahead two-run shot accounted for all of Chicago’s scoring in the finale
  • The Cubs won two of three games at Yankee Stadium to improve to 57–39 and preserve a half-game lead in the NL Central
  • New York managed only two hits and three baserunners in the loss, dropping the Yankees into second place in the AL East
  • Both teams look to the All-Star break for roster resets and trade-deadline pitching reinforcements as they head into the second half
