Overview

  • The Chicago Cubs defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers in a three-game series, capped by a 4-2 win on Sunday, bolstered by Pete Crow-Armstrong's two home runs and a triple.
  • The Dodgers, who began the season 8-0, have now lost three consecutive series and seen their offensive production decline sharply, averaging just .218 as a team over their last nine games.
  • Injuries to key players, including Freddie Freeman, have compounded the Dodgers' struggles, with Freeman playing in only five of the team's 17 games due to a re-aggravated rib injury and ankle issues.
  • Despite the slump, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and star Mookie Betts remain optimistic, emphasizing the long season and their confidence in the team's ability to rebound.
  • The Cubs have now won series at Dodger Stadium for three consecutive seasons, turning a traditionally challenging venue into a favorable battleground for their young roster.
