Cubs' bullpen unable to hold off Dodgers in G1

CHICAGO -- Pinch-hitter Kyle Farmer smacked a two-run double with two strikes and two outs in the ninth inning to lift the Dodgers to a 4-3 victory over the Cubs on Tuesday afternoon in the first game of a split doubleheader against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

Trailing, 3-2, against Justin Wilson in the ninth -- closer Brandon Morrow wasn't available due to a tight back -- pinch-hitter Austin Barnes walked, and one out later, Justin Turner single to center. Yasmani Grandal was called out on strikes and was ejected after arguing, the third Dodger tossed in the game by home-plate umpire Tripp Gibson.
