Furious with the strike zone of umpire Tripp Gibson III, the Dodgers took out their anger on Cubs reliever Justin Wilson in the ninth inning for a 4-3 comeback victory in the first game of a doubleheader. Moments after Yasmani Grandal became the third Dodger ejected by Gibson, Kyle Farmer raked a two-out, go-ahead, two-run double.
Farmer was batting in the place of Matt Kemp, who was thrown out along with manager Dave Roberts in the fifth inning for arguing with Gibson. The disgruntled group still managed to collect a victory on a day when Kenta Maeda could not finish four innings.
