Pete Crow-Armstrong's two home runs, including a decisive solo shot in the seventh inning, propelled the Chicago Cubs to a 4-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Cubs secured the series win with strong pitching performances, as Ethan Roberts earned the win and Ryan Pressly notched his fourth save. Crow-Armstrong's 412-foot blast off Blake Treinen gave the Cubs a crucial 3-2 lead, with Nico Hoerner adding an insurance run in the eighth.
The Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow yielded two home runs in his six-inning outing, with Crow-Armstrong and former Dodger Michael Busch providing the power for the Cubs. Busch, who was acquired from the Dodgers in 2024, continued his strong performance against his former team with a home run and a single in the game. Despite a late scoring opportunity in the sixth inning, the Dodgers were unable to overcome the Cubs' solid bullpen, with Roberts making key outs to maintain the tie. Next up, the Dodgers will face the Colorado Rockies with Dustin May on the mound, while the Cubs will send Jameson Taillon to pitch against the San Diego Padres.
