Kris Bryant started this week of Chicago Cubs games by hitting a solo homer in the eighth inning Friday, and then the eventual game-winner in the 10th. He was the first Cub to hit two homers in a game at Dodger Stadium since Sammy Sosa single-handedly won a 3-1 affair on Aug. 10, 2003. Sosa was also the last Cub to hit any extra-inning home run at Chavez Ravine; that happened eight years earlier, on May 21, 1995, off Félix Rodríguez.
Overall, the game was the Cubs' first extra-inning win in Los Angeles since May 31, 2005, when Carlos Zambrano threw eight innings of one-hit ball and Neifi Perez's RBI single won it in the 10th.
