Cubs Lose 6-3 to Nationals despite Bregman, Happ Homers

Shōta Imanaga struggled with the long ball, allowing three solo homers and an additional run in the sixth inning. Conversely, Nationals starter Jake Irvin stifled the Cubs early, allowing only one baserunner through three frames. Joey Wiemer and Keibert Ruiz provided the power for Washington, each hitting two-run homers to seal the victory. Despite the offensive output, the Cubs' four total hits proved insufficient to overcome the Nationals' six runs.
