"Ben Brown entered the game when Shota Imanaga gave up a leadoff double to Steven Kwan and quickly demonstrated a familiar lack of command that proved costly."
"Jacob Webb entered in the bottom of the 8th and promptly gave up a game-tying homerun to Kayfus on an 84mph changeup that caught too much plate."
"The failed two-out, 9th inning rally began with Nico Hoerner and Bregman both walking and Happ driving in Hoerner with a bloop single to make it 6-5."
The Cubs led 3-0 but faltered in the 6th inning as Ben Brown struggled, allowing the Guardians to tie the game. Ian Happ's home run gave the Cubs a brief lead, but Jacob Webb's poor performance in the 8th allowed the Guardians to take the lead. A late rally in the 9th fell short, ending the game with a strikeout. Questions arose about Brown's role in the bullpen and Webb's effectiveness in high-leverage situations.
