Rizzo's RBI single to shallow left field gave
the Cubs a three-game sweep over the Dodgers. Jake Marisnick
added a two-run homer for the Cubs, and Matt Duffy finished
3-for-4 with a double and an RBI and scored three runs.
Max Muncy went 2-for-4 with a double, a homer and two RBIs to
lead the Dodgers. Gavin Lux finished 2-for-5 with a double and
an RBI.
Cubs right-hander Alec Mills (2-0) earned the victory in relief.
He gave up two runs, both unearned, on three hits in two
innings. He walked two and struck out one.
Dodgers left-hander Garrett Cleavinger (0-3) took the loss,
giving up two runs (one earned) on two hits in two-thirds of an
inning. He walked one and struck out two.
The score was tied at 3 after nine innings.
Muncy ripped an RBI double in the top of the 10th to give the
Dodgers a 4-3 lead. His hit drove in Lux, but Justin Turner was
thrown out at home plate as he tried to tack on another run.
The Cubs answered with a run in the bottom of the 10th to even
the score at 4. Joc Pederson hit a towering fly ball to right
field, but the wind kept it in the ballpark and led to a
sacrifice fly rather than a game-winning three-run homer.
Matt Beaty gave the Dodgers a 5-4 lead in the top of the 11th on
a fielder's choice groundout.
Duffy's RBI single tied the score at 5 in the bottom of the
frame, and he came around to score the winning run on Rizzo's
single.
The game was scoreless until the top of the fourth, when Muncy
hit a solo homer to put the Dodgers on top. His shot to
left-center field was his fifth homer of the season.
One inning later, the Dodgers increased their lead to 2-0. Chris
Taylor hit a leadoff single and scored on a double by Lux.
The Cubs evened the score at 2 in the bottom of the fifth.
Marisnick belted the first pitch he saw to straightaway center
for a two-run homer, his fourth.
Los Angeles regained a 3-2 advantage in the top of the sixth.
The Dodgers loaded the bases with nobody out, and Will Smith
came through with a sacrifice fly to center.
The Cubs pulled even on a fielder's choice groundout by Javier
Baez in the eighth.
