Cubs Sweep Dodgers in Thriller | Los Angeles News

Pete Crow-Armstrong lit up the scoreboard with two homers and four RBIs, leading the Cubs to a wild 7-6 victory over the Dodgers—and completing a sweep of Shohei Ohtani’s team. Nico Hoerner added three hits as Chicago surged to 4-1 in their last five games, pulling ahead in the NL wild-card race. The Dodgers, now on a six-game skid, saw Ohtani crush two homers and Mookie Betts deliver four hits in a rare offensive surge, but Max Muncy’s three-run blast couldn’t turn the tide. Shota Imanaga anchored the Cubs’ pitching with five strong innings, while Freddie Freeman walked off safely after being hit by a pitch—X-rays clear and feeling fine. Both teams opened with leadoff homers, fueling the MVP showdown, and the Dodgers face Roki Sasaki on Friday, while the Cubs send David Peterson to the mound Thursday against Toronto.
