A fan wearing an “MVPCA” shirt, in a nod to Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong, reached over the railing and let the ball slip through his waving arms. It hit the railing over the yellow stripe at the top of the wall, out of Tauchman’s reach, for the first run of the game.

Cade Horton’s start was the Cubs’ sixth this season of at least 6⅓ innings with no runs allowed. He had a seven-inning scoreless start vs. the Guardians on July 3. Matthew Boyd also has had two. Shota Imanaga and Justin Steele have had one. Horton has not given up a run in his last 12⅔ innings spanning three games.
