The Los Angeles Dodgers lost their fourth consecutive game on Monday, losing the first game in a three-game set against the Chicago Cubs.
LA got things started early, taking a 3-0 lead in the first inning before Cubs starter Matthew Boyd could record an out. Shohei Ohtani and Andy Pages both singled to lead off the first inning, and Tommy Edman took advantage of the first pitch he saw, hitting it over the fence for his third bomb of the year.
It didn't take long for the Cubs to pull themselves back into the game, though, as Seiya Suzuki hit a home run of his own in the bottom of the first to make the score 3-2. The Cubs went on to take the lead in the following inning, as No. 9 hitter Kevin Alcantara hit a two-run home run shortly after crushing a ball which narrowly crept foul.
The Cubs extended their lead in the bottom of the third inning, as catcher Carson Kelly hit the hosts' third two-run home of the game to make the score 6-3.
LA began chipping away at the deficit in the top of the fourth, as a two-out single from Eliézer Alfonzo brought home Kyle Tucker to make the score 6-4.
