Key Moments in Dodgers 10-2 Loss to Cubs
The Dodgers entered Wednesday’s game with all the momentum in the world. They Shut down the Cubs offense in game 3, winning 6-0, and had the talented Julio Urias starting in game 4. Unfortunately, that beautiful momentum has switched sides.
It all began with a very questionable play at home. Adrian Gonzalez was called out and, after sending it to New York, the call remained.
This would be followed by a 4-run inning in the top of the 4th, which kicked off by a terrible throw by left-fielder Andrew Toles.
The Cubs are in business. Three straight singles, and a bad throw by Toles. 1-0, Cubs.
