Despite leading by three runs in the first inning, then three again entering the eighth, the Dodgers couldn’t hold on in a wild 11-10, extra-innings loss to the Chicago Cubs, getting outplayed — or, at the very least, outslugged — on a night a wind blowing out turned Wrigley Field into a band box.
Tanner Scott blew a save with two out in the ninth, when Miguel Amaya tied the score on a solo home run to center. The Dodgers couldn’t answer in the top of the 10th, and Ian Happ walked it off with an RBI single on the first pitch of the bottom half of the inning.
