A 5 1/2-game lead in the division has vanished along with the offense, which just about hit bottom Tuesday night in a 1-0 loss to the Cubs in 10 innings. That wasted another masterful Zack Greinke start as the Dodgers have lost seven of the last nine.
Greinke remained winless since May 5 despite six scoreless innings against the Cubs, this on the heels of seven scoreless innings against the Rangers. He is 0-2 with seven no-decisions since his last victory. His ERA on the season is 1.70, but the Dodgers have scored only four runs in his last four starts.
