CHICAGO -- Five Chicago Cubs pitchers combined for a one-hit, 2-0 shutout of the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday afternoon as their bullpen, led by Travis Wood's four perfect innings, retired the final 21 batters after starter Jason Hammel left the game with cramping in his right leg.
Overall, the Cubs retired the final 25 batters of the game for the first time since 1960, when Don Cardwell gave up a hit and then retired 26 in a row, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
"[Wood] was so pitch efficient he allowed us to do what we did," manager Joe Maddon said after the game.
