First Inning

The game began with the Cubs taking an early advantage. They scored 2 runs in their first inning, setting a competitive tone for the match. The Guardians struggled to find their rhythm initially and were unable to score any runs during this period.

Eighth Inning

However, just as momentum seemed to swing towards Cleveland, Chicago responded fiercely in their eighth inning by adding another 4 runs on just two hits and benefiting from an error by Cleveland’s defense. This widened their lead once again and put pressure back onto the visitors.

Ninth Inning

In an attempt to rally back into contention during the ninth inning, Cleveland added one more run but ultimately fell short of closing out what could have been an impressive comeback victory against Chicago’s resilient squad.
