The left-hander was again brilliant when the team needed him most in his latest start.
It didn't matter in the end, with the San Francisco Giants walking off the Chicago Cubs and completing a three-game sweep of the North Siders on Thursday afternoon, but no blame can be dropped at the feet of left-hander Shota Imanaga who was, once again, brilliant.
Imanaga tossed seven innings and allowed three runs, continuing an especially impressive run since returning from the injured list in late June.
