Overview

• May retired the first 16 batters and struck out nine over seven innings, allowing two runs in his standout outing.
• Brooks Baldwin ended May’s perfect game bid with a sixth-inning single and later chased him in the eighth with a two-run homer.
• Freddie Freeman went 2-for-4 with three RBIs and Mookie Betts hit his first home run in 21 games to provide key run support.
• Michael Conforto’s sliding catch and Freeman’s liner snare preserved May’s shutout bid deep into the game.
• Chicago’s 9-35 road record is the worst start away from home in both franchise and major league history.
