The Cubs welcomed the Guardians to Wrigley Field on a warm Tuesday night to begin a three-game series. Chicago got a great pitching effort and a big night from their catcher to start the month of July off with a win.
The North Siders put together a rally against Gavin Williams in the bottom of the 2nd as Michael Busch had an RBI single and Carson Kelly hit a two-run double into the left-center gap. Further damage was avoided in the frame when Williams picked off a pair of Cubs runners, but the home team led 3-0.
