Explorers 11-4 Winners Versus Anaheim
Chicago starter Shota Imanaga pitched well against the Anaheim Diamonds at Baron's Ballyard. The left-hander led his team to a win, 11-4. The winning pitcher was Imanaga, now 2-0. He tossed 6.1 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 1 and fanning 6. Anaheim, now 1-11, continues its dreadful start.

Jace Jung had a big grand slam home run for the Explorers in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Chicago leading 3-2 and the bases loaded, he sized up a slider from Trevor Rogers, who finished 2nd in the UL in strikeouts with 213 in 2022, and punished it. The result was his 5th home run of the season, which put the Explorers on top, 7-2.

"We'll pop the top on a cold beverage and get back to work tomorrow," Jung said.
