Gil (13-6) allowed one hit with seven
strikeouts over six innings. He walked two while throwing 89
pitches in his first game since coming off the injured list.
Jake Cousins and Tommy Kahnle each tossed a scoreless inning
before Luke Weaver worked around a two-out walk in the ninth for
his first career save.
Cody Bellinger's one-out double in the fourth inning was the
lone hit registered by Chicago (72-69), which lost for the third
time in its last four games.
Cubs starter Jordan Wicks (2-3) escaped a jam in the first
inning after walking Giancarlo Stanton to load the bases with
two outs. Jazz Chisholm Jr. followed by grounding out to the
pitcher.
The Yankees got on the board in the third inning. Gleyber Torres
drew a leadoff walk, advanced to second on Juan Soto's single
and scored on Judge's double down the left field line.
With runners at second and third, Wells lined Wicks' first
offering into left field for a two-run single.
Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo made his long-awaited return
to Wrigley Field, where he played for 10 years with the Cubs and
won a World Series.
Rizzo received a pregame video tribute and hit a leadoff single
in the fourth inning. Rizzo was erased on Anthony Volpe's
double-play grounder and finished 1-for-3 with a walk.
Wicks allowed three runs on five hits with four walks and four
strikeouts over five innings.
Chicago struggled to generate any offense against Gil, who
dazzled in his return after missing two starts due to a lower
back strain.
The Cubs did not have a runner reach third base until the
seventh inning. With Nico Hoerner on third and two outs, Cousins
struck out Dansby Swanson to maintain the shutout.
