Smyly (2-1), who also beat the Dodgers on
Sunday in Los Angeles, fanned six straight at one point. The
only baserunner he allowed in 24 batters faced came when David
Peralta reached on a broken-bat infield single, which barely
made it halfway down the third-base line, to open the eighth.
That was the only hit for the Dodgers, who managed three
baserunners all day.
Hoerner had four hits with four RBIs, and Trey Mancini homered
for one of his three hits and three RBIs for Chicago.
Ex-Dodger Cody Bellinger also went deep for the Cubs, who,
according to Marquee Sports Network, tied a franchise record by
scoring at least 10 runs in six of their first 19 games. After
managing six hits during Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Dodgers,
Chicago recorded 17 to win for the 11th time in 15 games.
Los Angeles starter Julio Urias (3-2) allowed five runs, seven
hits (including two homers) and two walks in 3 1/3 innings.
Seven of Urias' 10 earned runs allowed this season have come
against Chicago.
The Cubs opened the scoring in the first on Seiya Suzuki's
two-run double. After Urias threw 31 pitches in the first,
Chicago added on in the second with Hoerner's RBI single.
Bellinger made it 4-0 in the third when he homered off Urias for
the second time in less than a week. Mancini immediately
followed by going deep to left field against Urias.
With Jake Reed pitching and two on in the Cubs' fifth, Wisdom
pulled the ball well over the left-field wall for his ninth
homer. Bellinger followed with a double and scored on Mancini's
single to make it 9-0. Hoerner belted Chicago's second three-run
homer in the fifth, this one off Andre Jackson.
Mancini added an RBI single in the sixth.
