The Los Angeles Dodgers received late heroics from Max Muncy and Justin Turner but couldn’t hang on and suffered a 4-3 loss to the Chicago Cubs in nine innings to split the doubleheader. The teams now meet Wednesday evening for the rubber match of the three-game series.
Similar to Clayton Kershaw in the first game, Trevor Bauer labored in his first inning. He walked the first two batters faced but managed to get out of the jam — albeit needing 27 pitches.
Bauer issued a leadoff walk in the second before completing another scoreless inning, and he didn’t allow a hit until Kris Bryant’s double with one out in the third.
