wako-cubs-2

The Los Angeles Dodgers spoiled Jon Lesters return to the starting rotation by scoring runs on an error and sacrifice fly Thursday to nip the Chicago Cubs 2-1 in the final game of the three game series at Wrigley Field. The  win enabled the Dodgers to avoid a sweep. Lester fell to 1-1 after allowing two runs on four hits in five innings in his return from a left hamstring strain. Cody Bellinger drove in the game winner-his 31st RBI of the season tying Christian Yelich of Milwaukee. Pedro Baez (2-1) picked up the win in relief for LA with Kenly Janzen picking up the save despite allowing Albert Almora Jr to hit a solo homer in the ninth. The Cubs are in Arizona Friday night to open up a three game series with the Diamondbacks. Kyle Hendricks (1-3) will go for the Cubs in the opener against Robbie Ray (0-1). The game can be heard on Lite 103 WAKO beginning with the pregame at 8:05 p.m. Central Time.
