Venezuelan closer Daniel Palencia added his fifth save in the current Major League Baseball season to get the Chicago Cubs to shut out 2 runs to 0 against the Cincinnati Reds at Wrigley Field.

The Venezuelan entered the ninth inning to close the match, effectively fulfilling his task, after going through the final episode without problems with a punch. This season, Palencia has a 1.74 ERA and an impressive 0.77 WHIP.

The Cubs' pitching corps was unstoppable, leaving the Reds on an unstoppable offense. Brad Keller (2-0) won for the second time in 2025, while Graham Ashcraft (3-4) was the loser.
