TORONTO (AP) - Rookie right-hander Cade Horton struck out a career-high eight in 5 2/3 sharp innings to win his fourth straight start, Michael Busch and Matt Shaw homered and the Chicago 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.
Andrew Kittredge came on to face Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who hit an RBI double. Addison Barger flied out to the warning track to end the inning.
Guerrero’s hit snapped the 23-year-old Horton’s scoreless streak at 28 1/3 inning
