The Chicago Cubs (25-13) have been slugging their way through the early-season schedule, beating up on both good and bad teams alike. That came to an end on Wednesday, at least briefly. The Los Angeles Dodgers (26-10) were able to save themselves from being swept on their home field with a 5-3 victory over Chicago, via MLB The Show 20.
This game featured a classic pitching matchup, with Clayton Kershaw going against Jon Lester. Kershaw is a future Hall of Famer, while Lester has three World Series rings and may be on the borderline of induction into the Hall by the time his career is over.
