For the first time in 16 years, the Dodgers have won back to back games. I mean 16 days. Clayton Kershaw pitched well enough to earn the 201st win of his career. Max Muncy continued his power surge with his league-leading 11th home run of the season, and Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts hit his first bomb in two weeks to get to the NL ERA leader Marcus Stroman.
Let’s get into the highlights.
The Cubs got on the board first thanks in part to a Max Muncy error at third. Chicago carried a 2-0 lead into the third until Mookie did this.
