The Dodgers barely hung on to the lead yesterday, but behind an Alex Verdugo sliding catch, they successfully took three of four games against the Cubs. At 48-24, the team looks to pad their lead in the division with a four game series against the struggling San Francisco Giants. Kenta Maeda will start the series matched up against Tyler Beede.
Joc Pederson is starting in left field against the right-handed Beede, and Justin Turner has the night off to rest.
