• 2024 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 42

John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports The Cubs offense was missing in action in a 2-0 loss in Atlanta. That was a disappointing loss. The Braves have a deep and talented team and Shōta Imanaga shut them out for five innings. Hayden Wesneski followed and had just one hiccup but that was enough for the Braves to put together two wins and pull out the win. The numbers suggested going into the g...2024

• Braves 2, Cubs 0: Wasting another good Shōta Imanaga start

Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images The Cubs starter threw well again, but the Cubs could not generate any offense. Shōta Imanaga continued his run of great starts for the Cubs Monday in Atlanta. Unfortunately, he walked a few more than usual and ran up a high pitch count and could throw only five innings. Hayden Wesneski, who’s also thrown well, entered in the sixth and the Braves scored a...2024
