Kevin Gausman delivered a dominant performance on the mound as the Chicago Cubs defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-0 on Monday night. Gausman pitched seven innings, allowing just three hits and no runs while striking out six batters, per ESPN and the Associated Press.
The Cubs' offense broke through with two home runs. Michael Conforto hit a two-run shot, and Carson Kelly added a solo homer, according to ESPN. Sportsnet's game summary attributed the second homer to "Chad Kelly," creating a discrepancy in reporting on the identity of the second home run hitter. The Cubs' total of seven runs came on limited offensive output, highlighting how decisively Gausman controlled the game.
