Pete Crow-Armstrong contributed an RBI single off Yu Darvish, while Michael Busch hit a crucial solo home run, and Jameson Taillon pitched four shutout innings, supported by strong defense and a raucous home crowd at Wrigley Field. Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson praised the team's resilience and grit throughout the series.
