Cubs ace Shota Imanaga took the bump for the visitors and had one of the worst games of his entire career. He made it through just three full innings of work, giving up 12 hits and seven earned runs on 85 pitches. Imanaga didn't give up a walk, but he only was able to strike out two batters in the game.

MLB insider Jim Callis considers the Cubs to be one of many franchises with enough minor-league capital to make blockbuster trades.
