00:00In Los Angeles, downtown L.A. at the Ravine, the Dodgers in a three-game set against the Cubs lost the opening two, trying to avoid the sweep last night at home against Chicago.
00:14Booked as greater than a $1.60 favorite on the money line, and it was an interesting game.
00:19We saw seven runs combined between the two teams in the opening frame.
00:24Then Chicago played it a ton. The Dodgers had to rally in the seventh.
00:28RBI single from Gavin Lux gave L.A. the lead.
00:31Some insurance from Tommy Edmond with his second home run of the game.
00:36D.R.S., Edmond has four home runs this year, half of them last night in Los Angeles,
00:42as the Dodgers avoid the sweep with a 10-8 win over Chicago.
00:46We'll talk Shohei Otani and his track for history in just a moment as well.
00:51The game easily goes over the total. Look at the starting pitchers in this game, Ben.
00:54Three innings pitched, seven earned runs for Wicks, for the Cubs, and you flip it over to the Dodgers.
00:59Miller, the young pitcher, was on the mound. Four-and-a-third innings pitched, six earned runs there.
01:03So any one of these teams was like, hey, we're lucky we're even in this ballgame due to what our starting pitchers put us through.
01:09But that's the sign of the Dodgers here. Talent all the way up and down that roster.
01:12Just about each and every guy in that one through six team, seemingly, that they can go yard at any time.
01:17And maybe the two best players overall in the National League on the same team that bat one and two in that lineup.
01:23It's never over. You never put away the Dodgers until that final out, and you saw that yesterday.
01:28Ten runs for the Dodgers, and it's kind of interesting to see, like, oh, they avoided the sweep.
01:31That's crazy because, by the way, the Chicago Cubs have been a little bit on fire here, Ben, at the offense over the past month or so.
01:37Put up an eight spot and took a loss to the Dodgers. The Philadelphia Phillies trying to stay ahead of the Dodgers.
01:42One-game lead. That would have been nice for the Phillies if the Cubs were able to win once again against the Dodgers.
01:46But they weren't. 87-59. Good win by the Dodgers. Good comeback here. Never giving up on that one.
