Alex Wood extended his scoreless streak to 25.1 innings and the Los Angeles Dodgers pounced on Jake Arrieta to defeat the Chicago Cubs, 4-0, in the series opener at Dodger Stadium. Yasmani Grandal hit his 10th double during the month of May.
But it was Chase Utley who opened the scoring on the night, leading off the third inning with a home run. The homer was Utley’s second in as many games, marking the first time he’s accomplished as much since Sept. 27-28, 2016, at San Diego.
Grandal followed a Corey Seager leadoff walk in the fourth inning with a run-scoring, screaming double off the wall in left-center field to extend the Dodgers’ lead to 2-0.
