The Cubs tried for a sweep of the Angels while facing old friend Kyle Hendricks on a beautiful Sunday afternoon at the Big A. Chicago built a lead in the middle innings and held on late for a one-run victory to break out the brooms.
Taylor Ward put Los Angeles out in front with a 1st inning solo home run off Jameson Taillon. Matt Shaw doubled against Hendricks and came in to score on an RBI single by Kyle Tucker to tie it in the 3rd.
The North Siders took the lead on a run-scoring double off the bat of Nico Hoerner in the 4th.
