Freddie Freeman had three hits and three RBIs while Gavin Lux

Daniel Hudson allowed two runs in the ninth. Hudson struck out
pinch-hitter Gavin Sheets with two runners on to end the game.
Jake Burger homered for the second straight game for Chicago,
which has lost eight of its past 12.
Dodgers starter Tyler Anderson had his 28-inning scoreless
streak snapped in the third when Josh Harrison hit a leadoff
triple and scored on Danny Mendick's groundout.
Chicago added to its lead with three runs in the fourth. AJ
Pollock doubled in a run against his former team, Adam Engel was
hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, and another run scored on
Harrison's sacrifice fly.
Anderson yielded four runs on four hits, with three walks and
two strikeouts over three innings. Reliever Brusdar Graterol
(2-2) pitched a scoreless fourth inning for the victory.
Chicago starter Dylan Cease (4-3) cruised through the first four
innings before running into trouble in the fifth, when Los
Angeles sent 11 batters to the plate and scored six runs to take
the lead.
The Dodgers loaded the bases with one out after Burger misplayed
Austin Barnes' potential double-play grounder. Mookie Betts
struck out before Freeman doubled in two runs and Trea Turner
followed with an RBI single.
Muncy, who was activated from the injured list prior to the
game, followed with a two-run double. Cease walked Will Smith
and was replaced by Matt Foster, who walked Justin Turner to
load the bases and allowed a run to score on a wild pitch.
Cease was charged with six unearned runs on six hits over 4 2/3
innings. He walked three and struck out eight.
Burger hit a solo homer in the fifth before Los Angeles scored
four runs in the sixth against Bennett Sousa. Freeman singled in
a run and Muncy belted a three-run homer after Trea Turner was
intentionally walked on a 1-2 pitch.
Chicago scored two runs in the eighth and had two runners on
with no outs, but Alex Vesia retired the next three batters to
end the threat.
The Dodgers added an insurance run on Lux's RBI double in the
ninth.
