Chicago Cubs defeated Kansas City Royals 6–0. Chicago Cubs opened the scoring in the 2nd — Matt Shaw singles on a soft ground ball to second baseman Jonathan India. Dansby Swanson scores. Justin Turner to 2nd. The game's biggest swing came in the 5th: Cubs challenged (tag play), call on the field was overturned: Kyle Isbel lines into an unassisted double play, shortstop Dansby Swanson. Freddy Fermin out at 2nd — worth 20% in win probability.
