Six relievers for Los Angeles combined to allow
one run over the final five innings and help the Dodgers end a
four-game losing streak. Blake Treinen (2-3) allowed one hit and
struck out two in 1 2/3 innings of shutout relief to earn the
win.
Cubs starter Jake Arrieta allowed two runs and five hits in five
innings. He struck out four and walked three.
Kris Bryant homered for the Cubs, who used four pitchers to
no-hit the Dodgers in Thursday's series opener.
Gavin Lux walked to lead off the eighth against reliever Ryan
Tepera (0-1), who had allowed one run in his previous 20
appearances. Pollock then lifted a sinker just out of the reach
of leaping left fielder Joc Pederson to break the 2-2 tie.
Tommy Nance entered and gave up a two-out single to Mookie
Betts, followed by Muncy's 15th home run of the season to make
it 6-2.
The Dodgers gave up a home run in the first inning for the fifth
straight game when Bryant went deep with one out for a 1-0 lead.
Cody Bellinger led off the second inning with a single, stole
second, went to third on a ground out and scored on another
grounder to tie the score 1-1.
Zach McKinstry hit the first pitch of the third inning over the
fence in center for a home run to give the Dodgers a 2-1 lead,
their first since Sunday.
The Cubs put their first two runners on in the seventh inning
off Jimmy Nelson. A sacrifice bunt moved the runners to second
and third and Treinen was brought in to face Pederson, who hit a
sacrifice fly to tie the score 2-2.
