Cubs Sweep Dodgers in Wrigley Thriller | Sports News
Description
The Cubs pulled off a stunning 5-1 victory over the Dodgers at Wrigley, snapping LA’s five-game losing streak and handing them their worst skid of the season. Tarik Skubal, greeted with boos and a sarcastic upside-down banner reading “THE DODGERS RUINED BASEBALL,” lasted six innings but was held to one run. Javier Assad dominated for Chicago, pitching five and two-thirds innings with just four hits and one run allowed, aided by stellar defense. The Cubs’ offense exploded late: Dansby Swanson tied it with a homer, Pete Crow-Armstrong and Seiya Suzuki added insurance runs, and Nico Hoerner capped it off with a two-run blast in the eighth. The bullpen locked it down as the Cubs secured their fifth straight win over the Dodgers — and they’re aiming for a sweep tomorrow.
