The Cubs were attempting to avoid a sweep at the hands of the Guardians on Wednesday night. The visitors took a brief lead before Cleveland responded, moving ahead and never looking back to win and complete the sweep.
The North Siders went on top in the 4th inning against veteran starter Alex Cobb when Seiya Suzuki tripled and came home on a sacrifice fly by Cody Bellinger. The Guardians wasted no time answering back in the bottom of the frame with two runs off Jameson Taillon. Josh Naylor doubled in a run and Andrés Giménez singled him in to provide all the offense they’d need.
