Shota Imanaga was cruising before a rain delay ended his day.

Bad weather at Wrigley Field shortened Shota Imanaga’s second big-league start.

That’s about the only thing that went wrong for the Cubs on Sunday.

Imanaga cruised through four scoreless innings before a two-hour, 51-minute rain delay and the Cubs beat the Dodgers 8-1 to take the weekend series and finish a 5-1 homestand. Prior to the conditions turning unplayable, Imanaga needed just 43 pitches to get his 12 outs and built on his debut when he threw six shutout innings against Colorado.
