AI Summary
Edward Cabrera pitched 4 2/3 innings with three earned runs and two strikeouts in a Cubs win over the White Sox.
After retiring the White Sox in order in the first inning, Cabrera would be touched up for a 403-foot solo homer by Colson Montgomery in the second inning to tie the game at 1-1. He would bounce back to allow only one base runner over the next two innings, but in the fifth inning, Cabrera would walk the first two batters he faced, with both eventually coming around to score to cut the Cubs' lead to 4-3. Cabrera would not escape the inning, as he was pulled following a two-out walk to Sam Antonacci to give him his shortest outing of the season. Cabrera has now allowed three earned runs or more in each of his last seven starts, and has slowly seen his ERA balloon to 4.06 after finishing April with a 3.06 ERA.
