I could start this recap by blaming Justin Wilson for serving up a home-run ball to Chris Taylor in the eighth inning, giving the Dodgers a second run. That proved to be the difference in the game after the Cubs scored a run in the ninth off Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen.
But that’s really not fair; sure, Wilson gave up a run, but it was mostly the continued impotence of the Cubs offense that led to yet another loss, 2-1 to the Dodgers, the Cubs’ fifth loss in a row.
