Chicago Cubs Score and Recap (7/21/24): Cubs 2, D-Backs 1 F/10 – Late Rally Avoids Sweep

For most of the game Sunday, it appeared the Cubs were going to waste an outstanding start by Shu014dta Imanaga by getting shut out for the second consecutive day. Then they managed a dramatic rally to tie the score in the bottom of the 9th before taking home a thrilling victory in extra innings.

Imanaga and Diamondbacks starter Brandon Pfaadt were both very sharp, piling up strikeouts and keeping the game scoreless through six frames. Longtime Cubs nemesis Eugenio Suárez broke the tie with a very long solo home run to left field in the top of the 7th.
