The Chicago Cubs won their seventh consecutive game against the Philadelphia Phillies, a 7-4 victory against the Phillies. Seiya Suzuki and Michael Busch were key hits in the victory, with Busch being 3-for-19 with 1 RBI against left-handed pitchers this season. The team's deep lineup has helped them overcome injuries to 10 pitchers on their 40-man roster. The Cubs stranded a season-high 17 runners on base, marking their first win when leaving at least 17 on base since June 2, 2018. Shota Imanaga became the first Cubs starter to complete seven innings this season, limiting the Phillies to three hits, including the home run, while walking one and striking out one batter. This marks their first winning streak within April since 1989.
