Taking advantage of mistakes is a key part of winning baseball games. Hitters thrive on them and bad things happen when errors occur in the field. It was the Cubs who did the benefitting Tuesday, seizing the opportunity presented by a Yasiel Puig gaffe in right field and a pitch out over the heart of the plate.
It was a disastrous sixth inning for the Dodgers that ended in a Javy Baez grand slam, sealing an 8-4 loss to Chicago.
With a 2-1 lead after five, Dave Roberts turned to his bullpen to protect the lead.
