Hayden Wesneski was brilliant on the mound, pitching six and one-third scoreless innings in the Chicago Cubs’ 5-0 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. The California team’s batters managed just one hit and one walk against the game winning pitcher. Michael Busch was responsible for producing the runs for the North side, hitting a two-run home run in the seventh inning.
Sunday’s game was the perfect opportunity for the Cubs to get revenge after being shut out the day before. The win also gave Chicago a 2-1 series lead and their third series win since May 1.
Dansby Swanson, the Cubs’ bullpen ace, impressed his teammates with a great defensive play that helped keep the plate clean.
Hayden Wesneski struck out two and walked one in his winning performance and was relieved in the seventh inning with the Angels having two runners on base. That was the only time the Angels came close to scoring, but Cubs reliever Porter Hodge bailed them out, stranding runners at second and third.
The Cubs took a 2-0 lead in the third inning on a run-scoring single by Miguel Amaya and a sacrifice fly by Nico Hoerner. They tacked on another run in the fifth inning when Michael Bush doubled on a grounder. The Cubs finished with seven total hits.
