Watch: Miguel Amaya Doubles, Knocks in Cubs’ First Run of 2025 Season

You’re a winner if you had Miguel Amaya in your office pool for the Cubs’ first RBI.

Dansby Swanson got the Cubs’ first hit with one out in the bottom of the 2nd inning. Pete Crow-Armstrong moved him over with a grounder to second base.

In the next at-bat, Miguel Amaya delivered. On a 1-1 count, he drove the ball into the right-centerfield gap, driving in Swanson in the process.

Cubs lead in Tokyo, 1-0.
