The game began with the Cubs setting an aggressive tone early on, scoring two runs in the first inning from just one hit.

The Royals tried to mount a comeback with five hits leading to three runs in the sixth inning but were unable to overcome their deficit fully despite matching Chicago's nine hits due to less effective conversion into runs.
