Roman Anthony was the centerpiece of Boston's offense, reaching base repeatedly and scoring each of the club's runs. His presence kept pressure on Chicago throughout the comeback.
The Cubs struck first when Tyrone Taylor's double brought Seiya Suzuki home, and Miguel Amaya's double later scored Michael Busch and Dansby Swanson. Boston answered when Roman Anthony scored on Wilyer Abreu's force out, then tied the game as Adley Rutschman's single brought home Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Roman Anthony. In the seventh, Roman Anthony scored on Connor Wong's double, giving Boston the lead.
Aaron Civale took the loss after Chicago's early advantage disappeared. Boston's relief corps protected the margin, with Greg Weissert earning the win and Raymond Burgos recording the save.
The late rally extended Boston's winning streak and left Chicago searching for an answer after its early control of the game faded.
