Rizzo punctuates Cubs' party with walk-off

It was Rizzo's sixth career walk-off RBI hit.

The Dodgers were stymied by the Cubs' defense early in the game, but an error by shortstop Addison Russell led to the game-tying run in the eighth. Los Angeles had runners at first and second with one out when pinch-hitter Chase Utley hit into a fielder's choice. Russell tried to turn a double play, but his throw to first was wild, and Logan Forsythe, who was on second, scored on the play.

Neither starter got a decision. The Cubs' Jon Lester struck out seven over six innings, while the Dodgers' Alex Wood, subbing for injured Rich Hill, gave up two runs (one earned) over 3 2/3 innings.
