Mookie Betts had a two-run homer and two-run double, and Max Muncy also went deep with a man on, for the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers, who took three of four from the Chicago Cubs with Sunday's 7-3 victory.
Los Angeles trailed 3-2 with a man on in the sixth against Chicago ace Marcus Stroman when Muncy clubbed his 11th homer and fourth in the series. J.D. Martinez followed with a solo shot that chased Stroman, who recorded his 1,000th career strikeout, but allowed season highs of five runs and six hits.
Cody Bellinger had two hits with an RBI, while Seiya Suzuki also added a run-scoring hit for the Cubs, who dropped a series for the first time since losing two of three versus Milwaukee to open the season. Chicago, which took two of three at Dodger Stadium last weekend, won four straight and 10 of 13 entering this set, but has lost in a row for the first time since dropping the first three games of April.
