Shota Imanaga bounced back with a strong six-inning performance, giving up just one run and reigniting hope after recent struggles. Despite fan concerns over home runs, the Cubs remain confident, pointing to his solid post-All-Star break record and winning percentage. His season has been marked by inconsistency — a pattern that mirrored last year’s late-season slump — but Friday’s outing could be a turning point, especially after being benched in a crucial playoff game last year. With other starters like Gausman, Holmes, and Boyd also finding form, the Cubs’ rotation looks poised for a strong finish.
