San Diego starter Anthony Bass struggled with his control and couldn't make it through five innings. He was pulled after walking in a run with two out in the fifth -- his third walk of the inning.
Miles Mikolas walked in another run in relief before Alex Hinshaw came on to end the inning.
Bass was charged with five runs over 4 2-3 innings. He walked four and struck out two.
Dempster lasted just 4 1-3 innings and remained winless in nine starts on the year. He gave up six runs -- all on homers. He was pulled one batter after Quentin's second shot.
The Cubs bullpen combined for 4 2-3 scoreless innings.
"We don't win that game if they don't do the job they did," Dempster said.
In the second inning, Steve Clevenger knocked in a run with a single in his first at-bat since coming off the disabled list, then doubled in another run two innings later. He came up with the bases loaded and two out in the fifth but grounded out to second base.
Clevenger missed over a month due to a strained right oblique. He was 11 for 22 before going on the DL, and maintained a .500 average with a 2 for 4 day.
