Summary
Hunter Greene dominated with 12 strikeouts, but the Cubs’ offense went cold—just 4 hits and 1 walk—while Shōta Imanaga pitched well despite a shaky bullpen collapse. Jake Woodford’s meltdown, including a three-run homer, turned a close game into a blowout, prompting his DFA and Phil Maton’s return. The Cubs’ future looks brighter with draft picks like Cade Townsend and Caden Sorrell, but for now, fixing the bullpen and finding consistency remain urgent priorities.
