This TV channel is a sub-channel (9.3) in the Chicagoland area.
Last night Cub game was on WGN(1009,9) in Chicagoland so my guess is that in Springfield,IL the game was on This TV? If that is the case Uverse doesn't carry sub-channels.
The Cubs are on many channels in Chicagoland CSN(1741,741), ABC(1007,7) and WGN(1009,9) are the main ones. There are a few games on alternate channels (1742,742) and (1010,10) on occasionally but not very often.
Not sure how many games are on This TV in your area this year.

That list mentions ABC 7 and WGN, which are local broadcast channels in Chicago, itself. WISH TV 8 (Indianapolis) is not listed eitrher. WISH TV (8/1008) is carrying the Cubs game this Sunday.

WGN 9 CW Chicago and WPWR 50 MyNetworkTV - Chicago, IL
WNDY 23.1 (MyNetworkTV) or WISH 8.1 (The CW) Indianapolis
KCWI 23.1 (The CW) or WOI 5.1 (ABC) Des Moines Ames
WBUI 23.2 (This TV) or WBUI 23.1 (The CW) or WAND 17.1 (NBC) Champaign & Springfield Decatur
KCRG 9.2 (MyNetworkTV) or KCRG 9.3 (Antenna TV) or KCRG 9.1 (ABC) Cedar Rapids Waterloo Iowa City & Dubuque
WMYS 69.1 (MyNetworkTV) South Bend Elkhart
WQAD 8.3 (MyNetworkTV) or WQAD 8.1 (ABC) Davenport Rock Island Moline
WISE 33.2 (MyNetworkTV) Fort Wayne
WAOE 59.1 (MyNetworkTV) Peoria Bloomington
WIFR 23.2 (Antenna TV) Rockford
So if the Cubs schedule says WGN or WPWR, the game will also be on the above affiliates.
Amazing we've not had any baseball on regular TV for many years all on FS Det. Only 1 is FS Det simulcast on WJBK Fox 2 (O&O), 1002. for home opener each year. 😉
