CHICAGO —
Even in normal conditions, the Dodgers’ infield defense has been a point of concern for the club.
On a wet, muddy infield at a rain-soaked Wrigley Field on Sunday, the weakness was highlighted repeatedly before their eventual 8-1 loss to the Chicago Cubs was delayed for nearly three hours in the bottom of the fourth inning.
In the first inning, an error by first baseman Freddie Freeman contributed to three unearned runs, all of them courtesy of a bases-loaded double from former Dodgers prospect Michael Busch.
