San Diego starter Sean Manea was sluggish with four innings, eight hits, two home runs, one walk, five strikeouts and five runs, but with the help of his teammates, he escaped defeat. Kyle Tyler, who pitched for the second pitch, scored two innings and scored his first win in his career.

For the Cubs, starting Kyle Hendrix did well with five innings, four hits, six strikeouts and one run, but the bullpen collapsed.
