LOS ANGELES -- In a rematch of the 2016 National League Championship Series, lefty Alex Wood tossed five innings of a combined two-hitter to lead the Dodgers to a 4-0 win over the Cubs in Friday night's series opener at Dodger Stadium.
Chase Utley and Adrian Gonzalez hit home runs to back Wood as he extended his scoreless streak to 25 1/3 innings, the longest active in the Majors. Wood, once thought to be headed to the bullpen, improved to 6-0 as he allowed only two hits, struck out eight and lowered his ERA to 1.
