BOSTON — Shota Imanaga continued the impressive start to his major league career by pitching one-run ball into the seventh inning, leading the Chicago Cubs to a 7-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Signed to a $53 million, four-year deal during the offseason after spending his eight-year, professional career in Japan, the 30-year-old Imanaga (4-0) beat Boston right-hander Kutter Crawford in a matchup of two pitchers with impressive ERAs. The Cubs rode a two-hit, two-RBI night by rookie Pete Crow-Armstrong for their fifth win in six games. Patrick Wisdom added a pinch-hit, two-run double. Tyler O'Neill hit his eighth homer for the Red Sox.
