Oh boy.
Zack Greinke was marvelous again for the Dodgers, going six scoreless innings while striking out five and limiting the Cubs to just five baserunners. Greinke did labor a bit, throwing 111 pitches, but he never appeared in any real danger after the first inning was complete. However, Greinke also couldn’t get any run support yet again and thus left with the score tied at 0.
Generating offense was a chore today, and the team managed just three hits and three walks on the day. Given the lack of opportunities, it was important that the offense take advantage of the chances presented, but they squandered a lead-off double from Alberto Callaspo in the third and a pop-up triple from Yasiel Puig in the sixth.
