HOUSTON ASTROS AT CHICAGO CUBS
GAME ID: 927 - TUESDAY, APRIL 23RD , 2024 - GAME LOG
  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Houston Astros (9-15) 0 2 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 5 9 0
Chicago Cubs (11-12) 0 0 4 0 0 3 1 0 X 8 10 0
Houston Defeated By Cubs, 8-5
The 8-5 Chicago win over Houston was due in large part to Alex Call. The Cubs right fielder went 3 for 3 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Casey Sadler nailed down his 8th save. Chicago goes to 11-12.

The Astros had been locked in a 5-5 tie with the Cubs going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 34-year old second baseman Drew Maggi came to the plate. Maggi hit a run-scoring double on a 1-1 curveball from Houston hurler Danny Coulombe. It was Maggi's 3rd double of the year.

"The bar for us is not a particular opponent, it's ourselves," said Chicago manager Brian Gryka.
