Pitcher David Peterson allowed just one run over six-plus innings, helping the Cubs secure their third win in four games and move ahead of Philadelphia for the top NL wild card spot. Atlanta’s Mike Yastrzemski hit a two-run homer, but the Braves couldn’t overcome the deficit. The Cubs’ victory was sealed when Ronald Acuña Jr. hit into a game-ending double play with the bases loaded in the ninth inning.
