The Chicago Cubs, led by Michael Busch's first multi-homer game, defeated the Colorado Rockies 6-2, ending a three-game losing streak. Busch contributed significantly with a go-ahead RBI single in the third and solo homers in the seventh and ninth innings. Kyle Hendricks pitched six strong innings, allowing just one run. Despite their recent struggles, the Cubs managed to secure this victory, although they remain six games behind in the NL wild card race. The Rockies' pitching was lackluster, issuing 12 walks and managing only four hits. The previous night, the Rockies rallied to beat the Cubs 6-5 in extra innings, thanks to clutch performances by Sam Hilliard and Brenton Doyle.
