Cubs head into All-Star break with momentum after series win

After splitting the first two games of the series, the Chicago Cubs took the rubber match over the New York Yankees on Sunday. Chicago now heads into the All-Star break with momentum thanks to its 4-1 win. 

With two home runs as run support, the Cubs won the series thanks to dominance on the mound. 

In contrast to New York, which had to use five pitchers in the game, Chicago starter Shota Imanaga pitched through seven innings and then only two relievers were needed to shut the door on a normally potent Yankees lineup. 

Following a loss on July 8, Imanaga rebounded with one of his best performances of the season on Sunday. He gave up only one run and two hits while recording six strikeouts, including two from New York superstar Aaron Judge, a day after he hit his 350th career home run.
