Rookie infielder Matt Shaw singled home the winning run in the 10th inning to give the Chicago Cubs a 1–0 victory over the Cleveland Guardians at Wrigley Field on Thursday night, completing a three-game sweep. The walk-off capped a tightly contested game that left the Guardians still without a win since their six-game skid began last week. In Los Angeles, Clayton Kershaw became the 20th pitcher in Major League history to record 3,000 career strikeouts, fanning Vinny Capra in the sixth inning before the Dodgers rallied past the Chicago White Sox 5–4 with three runs in the ninth. The milestone came before a sellout crowd of 53,536 and secured the Dodgers’ third straight home win. Earlier in the day, Marcus Semien and Corey Seager homered to guide the Texas Rangers past the Baltimore Orioles, adding another positive result for the defending World Series champions.
