CHICAGO — Tuesday night epitomized what much of this young season has felt like for the Dodgers.
Momentum would build, then vanish. Right when they finally seemed to kick into top gear, they instead slipped frustratingly back into reverse.
Despite leading by three runs in the first inning, then three again entering the eighth, the Dodgers couldn’t hold on in a wild 11-10, extra-innings loss to the Chicago Cubs, getting outplayed — or, at the very least, outslugged — on a night a wind blowing out turned Wrigley Field into a band box.
