Cubs Cage the Orioles at Wrigley Field: A Pitcher's Masterpiece

The Chicago Cubs emerged victorious against the Baltimore Orioles with a 1-0 win, improving their record to 64-45. Meanwhile, the Orioles' record fell to 50-60. The game was held at Wrigley Field and witnessed by an enthusiastic crowd of 40,520 fans.

First Inning

The game began with both teams showing strong defensive plays. The Cubs' starting pitcher Cade Horton set the tone early by keeping the Orioles hitless in their first inning. Horton's precision pitching was evident as he maintained a low on-base percentage of .278 throughout his time on the mound.

Second Inning

In this inning, Carson Kelly made a significant impact for the Cubbies with his bat. He managed two hits out of three at-bats and scored what would be the game's only run, showcasing an impressive batting average of .667 for this matchup. His performance provided just enough offense for Chicago to take control.

Middle Innings

As innings progressed from third through sixth, both teams struggled offensively but displayed solid defense and pitching prowess. The North Side's bullpen was particularly effective; Brad Keller contributed significantly with no runs allowed over his relief appearance while maintaining a WHIP (walks plus hits per inning pitched) of just 1.0.

Seventh Inning Onwards

In later innings, Daniel Palencia and Caleb Thielbar continued to shut down any potential rallies from Baltimore's lineup by not allowing any earned runs or walks during their stints on-field—further cementing Chicago’s defensive dominance that day.

Despite several attempts from "O's" hitters like Adley Rutschman who tried breaking through against formidable Cubs pitchers such as Andrew Kittredge – whose strikeout rate stood impressively high at eighteen per nine innings – they couldn't convert opportunities into scores due largely because each member within Chicago’s roster executed flawlessly under pressure situations when needed most!
