Nico Hoerner (SS) and Pedro Ramírez (2B) taking grounders pregame. This could be the Cubs middle infield for the foreseeable future until Dansby Swanson returns.

Jacob Webb enters the eighth inning with a 4-2 lead to face the Yankees' three, four, and five hitters.

Webb hasn't allowed a run since June 20 against the Blue Jays.

[Coleman Robbins @ColemanRob38573]

The #Cubs have scored 98 runs in 22 Shota Imanaga starts (4.45 runs/game).

Take out four games where the offense scored double digits, and the North Siders have scored 53 runs in 18 Imanaga starts (2.94 runs/game).

The Cubs failed to get a baserunner past second today.

[Coleman Robbins @ColemanRob38573]

Through six batters, #Cubs Shota Imanaga hasn't thrown a first-pitch strike.

Yet, Imanaga has gone six up, six down with four strikeouts.
