The Cubs took a lead right out of the gate off of Clayton Kershaw, but they didn’t add to it after the third, and then the Dodgers went off on Jon Lester.
Although he indicated after the game that there was no impact, Lester’s night could be perfectly divided between early dominance, then a David Freese comebacker that hit Lester’s foot, and then Lester getting rocked.
The teams played out the string from there, and it was a comfortable win for the Dodgers.
