Cubs Dominate Marlins 6-1 | Chicago Cubs News

Shota Imanaga dominated for six innings, striking out batters and allowing just three hits and one run en route to his ninth win. The Cubs offense exploded in the sixth, fueled by Pete Crow-Armstrong’s speed—his 33rd steal—and clutch RBIs from Nico Hoerner and Pedro Ramírez. A four-run inning capped by a sacrifice fly gave Chicago a commanding lead. Crow-Armstrong also made a jaw-dropping leaping catch and scored twice, proving his all-around value. Though the Marlins broke up the shutout in the seventh, Michael Busch sealed the deal with his 18th homer in the ninth—a blast over 400 feet. The Cubs won 6-1 in Game 1, setting the stage for a pivotal Game 2. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
