CHICAGO — Tuesday night’s game at Wrigley Field mirrored what much of this young season has felt like at large.
Every time the Dodgers looked to be gaining real traction, they quickly spun out. Every time they seemed to find their top gear, they instead slipped back into reverse.
Despite leading by three runs in the first inning, then three again entering the eighth, the Dodgers couldn’t hold on in a wild 11-10, extra-innings loss to the Chicago Cubs, getting outplayed — or, at the very least, outslugged — on a night the wind was blowing out at Wrigley Field.
