Short drives in go-ahead run as Braves top Cubs 2-0 despite another strong start from Imanaga

Zack Short made the most of his first start with Atlanta by breaking a scoreless tie with a run-scoring double in the sixth and the Braves spoiled another strong start by Chicago rookie Shota Imanaga to beat the Cubs 2-0 on Monday night. Short, who filled in at third base while Austin Riley was held out with tightness in his left side, lined a pitch from right-hander Hayden Wesneski (2-2) into the right field corner to drive in Travis d'Arnaud, who doubled with two outs. Ronald Acuña Jr. followed with a single to left field to drive in Short for a 2-0 lead.
