LOS ANGELES – In a 10-8 loss Wednesday to the Dodgers, the Cubs’ comeback fell short. They’ll leave Los Angeles with a series win, but they couldn’t quite pull off the sweep.
Cubs starter Jordan Wicks struggled, giving up four home runs in the first inning alone and totaling seven runs in three innings.
But the Cubs stormed back from the 7-3 deficit, putting together a four-run fifth inning that included a three-run homer from Cody Bellinger.
The Dodgers retook the lead in the seventh inning on Gavin Lux’ RBI single on a line drive up the middle off reliever Shawn Armstrong.
