Cubs' Shota Imanaga shoots for more history vs. Pirates

Shota Imanaga is doing things that no pitcher has done for the Chicago Cubs in more than 100 years. Imanaga will attempt to continue the historic start to his major league career when host Chicago continues a four-game series with the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday afternoon. By logging five scoreless innings against the Atlanta Braves on Monday, Imanaga brought his ERA down to 0.96. No Cubs pitcher since at least 1912 had a lower ERA through his first eight starts of a season.
