The Houston Astros defeated the Chicago Cubs 3-0 on Saturday at Wrigley Field, extending Chicago's losing streak to seven games. Christian Walker hit two home runs, and Kai-Wei Teng delivered six scoreless innings.
Cubs manager Craig Counsell shuffled his lineup in an attempt to spark the offense. Pete Crow-Armstrong led off, Nico Hoerner batted cleanup for the first time in four years, and Ian Happ sat on the bench. The changes produced little, as Chicago managed just three hits and went 0-for its at-bats with runners in scoring position.
