Chicago Cubs Score and Recap (9/6/24): Yankees 3, Cubs 0 – Cubs Blanked in Rizzo’s Return

It was a very emotional afternoon at Wrigley Field Friday with Anthony Rizzo making his return for the first time as an opposing player. The big first baseman received a rousing ovation before the contest and before his first at-bat. The actual game was very anticlimactic as the Yankees completely shut down the Cubs offense and breezed to a 3-0 victory.

Chicago starter Jordan Wicks was able to escape a bases-loaded jam in the top of the 1st inning but was not so lucky in the 3rd. Likely MVP Aaron Judge hit an RBI double with two on to give his team a lead and catcher Austin Wells followed with a two-run single that made it 3-0.
