Dodgers Fall Short, 6-5, at Chicago
The Chicago Cubs grabbed a win, 6-5, over the Los Angeles Dodgers at Wrigley Field. Chicago right fielder Cody Bellinger went 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Logan Cozart converted his 1st save in 2 tries. The Dodgers, now 54-75, have lost 4 in a row.

The Cubs got a big boost from center fielder Michael A. Taylor who had a run-scoring walk in the bottom of the eighth inning off Dodgers hurler Phil Maton. It was his 35th walk of the season and put Chicago on top, 6-5.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Taylor told the Chicago Citizen.
