Patrick Wisdom and Cody Bellinger put Chicago ahead with back-to-back home runs in the sixth inning, and the visiting Cubs held on for a 3-2 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the rubber match of a three-game series Sunday.
Drew Smyly allowed one run on four hits with two walks and three strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings. Adbert Alzolay, Mark Leiter Jr., and Michael Fulmer followed before Brad Boxberger worked around a two-out single in the ninth for his first save.
Dodgers starter Julio Urias allowed two runs on eight hits over 5 2/3 innings. He walked one and struck out six. Chris Taylor homered and Mookie Betts had three hits and an RBI for Los Angeles, which has lost six of its last nine. Urias threw just 54 pitches in the first four innings before tossing 31 in the fifth, when the Cubs pulled even on Luis Torrens' run-scoring single with two outs. After Hoerner and Swanson each singled to load the bases, Ian Happ grounded out to end the inning.
Los Angeles cut the deficit to 3-2 in the bottom of the seventh against Alzolay when Taylor scored from third after Cubs right fielder Seiya Suzuki lost Betts' fly ball in the sun.
