After taking the first game of the doubleheader 7-0, the Dodgers continued to lay it on the Cubs pitching staff - powered by a five-RBI performance from Mookie Betts. Tyler Anderson also tossed five innings of two-run ball, making his third start in place of the injured Andrew Heaney.
The Dodgers silenced the Wrigley Field Faithful twice in the same day during their double header Saturday, after Friday's matchup was postponed by inclement weather.
The Dodgers instantly struck back in the top of the second inning, putting up four runs on a Hanser Alberto walk with the bases loaded before Betts cleared the bases with a double to left field. He finished the day going five innings, allowing two runs on four hits, striking out seven and walking one.
