Edward Cabrera made his Chicago Cubs debut with a dominant performance, holding the Los Angeles Angels to one hit in six shutout innings, leading to a 7-2 victory. The game's defining moment came two batters into the game, when Cabrera struck Los Angeles' Mike Trout out on the eighth pitch. The win was the largest home crowd Cabrera has ever pitched in front of in his career. Cabrera also became the first Cubs pitcher to throw at least six shutouts with one hit or fewer in his team debut since Don Cardwell in 1960.
