CHICAGO — Shota Imanaga pitched seven crisp innings in his sixth consecutive win, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Washington Nationals 5-0. Imanaga was backed by home runs from Mike Tauchman, Michael Busch and Miguel Amaya. The Japanese left-hander allowed six hits, struck out four and walked none, continuing his strong finish to his first season in the majors. The start of the game was delayed for 2 hours, 20 minutes because of rain. The Cubs, who were eliminated from playoff contention on Saturday, took three of four in the series. They went 6-1 against the Nationals this season. James Wood and José Tena each had two of Washington's eight hits.
