The Rundown: Imanaga Shuts Down Mets, Bats Remain Silent, Steele Close to Returning, Beekeeper Gets Baseball Card

“You’re driving me crazy! When are you coming home?” – James, Laid

Chicago’s bats are like a disease without any cure these days. That the Cubs won despite mustering just one run on five hits is a testament to Shu014dta Imanaga, who was once again magnificent on the mound. Imanaga pitched seven innings of shutout baseball with seven strikeouts, and Héctor Neris earned his fifth save thanks to a controversial 9th-inning call that went the Cubs’ way.

Imanaga has been a bit of a superhero since joining the Cubs and he’s been baseball’s best acquisition through the first month of the season.
