On a night where the Chicago Cubs faced a tough challenge, it was the pitching of Matthew Boyd that stood out, albeit in defeat. Boyd had a dominant five-inning stretch, continuously keeping the potent Los Angeles Dodgers lineup at bay, allowing only two hits and two walks.

However, the game took a turn in the sixth inning. After a sequence of events led to a three-run home run by Tommy Edman, the Cubs found themselves shut out for the first time this season, falling 3-0. This game underscored Boyd's early-season success, having allowed just three runs in his last three starts, while also highlighting the challenges facing the Cubs in this matchup.
