Athletics Edge Cubs 2-1 in Tight Pitching Duel
Oakland’s Jump worked seven strong innings to back a 2-1 Athletics win at Wrigley, while Chicago’s Jameson Taillon matched him for most of the night with 6.1 solid frames. The Cubs stifled offensively, seemingly stuck in 18 of 19 outs before Nico Hoerner’s ninth-inning leadoff walk sparked a brief rally that ultimately came up short, as Oakland held on for the win.
