James Outman and Max Muncy each homered twice as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Cubs 9-4 on Saturday.
Outman was 4-for-5 with four RBIs. He has homered seven times this season, the most by a Dodgers rookie in the months of March and April.
Muncy’s second homer of the game came off Cubs reliever Brad Boxberger in the ninth and Outman delivered his second one batter later. Muncy has 10 home runs, tied for the most home runs this season.
The nine-run scoring blitz came a day after the Dodgers lost 13-0 to the Cubs.
Muncy’s first homer was a two-run homer off Cubs reliever Mark Leiter Jr. in the seventh.
Nico Hoerner hit a two-run homer for the Cubs, who lost just for the second time in seven games.
One day after Drew Smyly took a perfect game into the eighth inning, Cubs starter Hayden Wesneski faced a no-out bases-loaded jam in the first inning. Mookie Betts singled, Freddie Freeman doubled to left and Muncy walked as the Dodgers matched the number of base runners they had Friday. Wesneski was able to get J.D. Martinez to hit a sharp grounder to second baseman Hoerner, who turned a double play as Betts scored. Jason Heyward ended the inning with a flyout to the warning track in center.
Dodgers starter Dustin May found himself in the same predicament as Wesneski in the first inning with bases loaded and no outs. Hoerner, who led off with a single, came around to score on Seiya Suzuki’s fielder’s choice. May ended the first inning by getting Cody Bellinger looking and Patrick Wisdom to pop out.
