First Inning


The game began with both teams struggling to find their rhythm offensively. The Cubs managed just one hit, while the Braves were held hitless by Chicago's starting pitcher. This set the tone for a tightly contested match where every play counted.


Fourth Inning


The turning point came in the fourth inning when the Cubs broke through with two runs off three hits. Dansby Swanson played a pivotal role during this inning, driving in one of those crucial runs that gave his team an edge over Atlanta. This offensive burst proved vital as it provided enough cushion for Chicago's bullpen later in the game.

Fifth Inning


In response, the Braves managed to score one run in their half of the fifth inning thanks to consistent hitting from Matt Olson and Ronald Acuña Jr., who combined efforts to keep Atlanta within striking distance. However, they couldn't fully capitalize on opportunities as Chicago's defense remained steadfast.


Final Innings


As tension mounted towards game's end, both teams' bullpens showcased impressive performances; however, it was Taylor Rogers from North Side who secured victory by closing out effectively without allowing any further damage despite facing pressure situations late into proceedings—highlighting another example among many game-changing plays Cubs vs Braves witnessed throughout night’s action-packed affair!
