TORONTO — Rookie right-hander Cade Horton struck out a career-high eight in 5⅔ sharp innings to win his fourth straight start, Michael Busch and Matt Shaw homered and the Cubs beat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-1 on Wednesday night.

Cubs catcher Miguel Amaya was carted off the field after injuring his left ankle landing on first base in the eighth inning.

Horton (7-3) didn’t allow a hit until Andrés Giménez lined a single to center with one out in the sixth.

Nathan Lukes followed with a popup and Bo Bichette chased Horton with a 10-pitch walk.
