Cubs Edge Guardians 1-0 in 1968 Throwback Game

The Cubs’ 1‑0 victory over the Guardians was a nod to 1968, the year of the pitcher, featuring a walk, pinch‑runner, sacrifice bunt and a hit to score the lone run. Edward Cabrera delivered six scoreless innings, allowing only one hit and five walks, while striking out 51 of 97 pitches.

It was the Cubs’ first 1‑0 win since August 2025, and Cabrera’s outing mirrored historic low‑run games, with the pitcher’s control issues echoing past struggles. The game’s defensive plays, including a key double‑play by Michael Busch, helped preserve the shutout.
