Cubs Edge Guardians 1-0 in 1968 Throwback Game

Edward Cabrera held the Guardians hitless for six innings, allowing only one hit and five walks while throwing 97 pitches, 51 of them strikes. The Cubs’ lone run came on a walk, a pinch‑runner, a sacrifice bunt and a single that scored the runner, mirroring the low‑scoring style of 1968.

It was Chicago’s first 1‑0 victory since Aug. 1, 2025, when they beat the Orioles at Wrigley. 1968, known as the “Year of the Pitcher,” saw the Cubs win four 1‑0 games, all with runs down across MLB.
