Shota Imanaga had another strong start, and Pete Crow-Armstrong had a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the fifth inning as the visiting Chicago Cubs beat the New York Mets 1-0 on Wednesday.

"In terms of today, my fastball velocity wasn't at the highest, but I was able to communicate with (catcher Miguel) Amaya and make adjustments," Imanaga said through his interpreter.

Nico Hoerner had two hits and a stolen base for the Cubs, who won two of the first three games of the four-game series.
