Miguel Amaya delivered the game-winning RBI single in the eighth inning, scoring the only run on their second hit of the day. The Cubs staff shut down Cleveland type, Edward Cabrera went five and two-thirds innings allowing just one hit, a double in the sixth. Reliever's Caleb Thielbar, Hobie Milner, and Daniel Palencia finished it off with Palencia nailing a perfect ninth for his first save. Chile wins at 44 degrees and blustery conditions kept the bats quiet, marking the lowest combined hits ever at progressive field since it. Opened in 1994. This was Chicago's first double-header since 1973, forced by Saturday's rain-out. Guardian starter Slate Sakone matched the dominance, holding the Cubs to one hit over six innings.
