ヒューストン・アストロズは土曜日、リグレー・フィールドでシカゴ・カブスを3-0で下し、カブスの連敗を7に伸ばした。クリスチャン・ウォーカーが2本の本塁打を放ち、鄧愷威（カイウェイ・テン）が6回無失点の好投を見せた。
カブスのクレイグ・カウンセル監督は打線の活性化を図り、オーダーを組み替えた。ピート・クロウ＝アームストロングを1番に据え、ニコ・ホーナーを4年ぶりにクリーンアップで起用したほか、イアン・ハップをベンチに下げた。しかしこの変更は功を奏さず、シカゴはわずか3安打に抑えられ、得点圏に走者を置いた場面でも無安打に終わった。
ファンやメディアは、クリスチャン・ウォーカーの2本塁打がアストロズの3-0の完封勝利を導いたと強調し、彼の3打数3安打の活躍と鄧愷威の力強い先発投球を称賛した。また、シカゴにとっては過去4年間で最長となる7連敗であることも報じられている。
