To make the Cubs’ 5-4 win Wednesday against the Guardians possible, left-hander Shota Imanaga rebounded from giving up three home runs to put together a solid second start back from the injured list.

Imanaga held the Guardians to four hits in 5 u2153 innings, but all but one flew over the fence. All three homers came on fastballs too close to the middle of the plate.

After a quick first inning, Imanga surrendered back-to-back solo homers to Carlos Santana and Lane Thomas to open the second.
