Pete Crow-Armstrong then doubled to right and Tucker scored. Carson Kelly grounded out on a fielder&#8217;s choice as Suzuki was out at home. Crow-Armstrong took third. Nico Hoerner drew a walk and Moises Ballesteros doubled clearing the bases for a 5-1 lead.<\/p>\n<p>Chicago added on three more in the sixth and finished with two in the ninth.<\/p>\n<p>Cubs starter Shota Imanaga struck out eight, gave up three runs, five hits and did not walk a batter in five innings.<\/p>\n<p>The Cubs have a day off and return to action Friday, playing host to Baltimore.
