David Peralta hit a walk-off two-run single and the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied for a 2-1 win over the Cubs on Saturday night.
Miguel Vargas beat out Seiya Suzuki's throw to home plate on a ground ball single to short right by Peralta, giving the Dodgers their first walk-off win of the season.
Shelby Miller got the win after Michael Grove gave up one run, two hits and two walks in 5 2/3 innings. Patrick Wisdom hit a home run, and the Cubs wasted five scoreless innings from Jameson Taillon. Michael Fulmer gave up a single to James Outman, a double to Vargas and pinch-hitter Peralta's winning hit.The Cubs could have added to their lead in the eighth, but Caleb Ferguson came on to get the Dodgers out of a bases-loaded jam by striking out Ian Happ and Suzuki, and Los Angeles took advantage of its reprieve.
Taillon consistently frustrated the Dodgers' lineup, and on one of the few pitches he put in a dangerous spot, he was bailed out. Cody Bellinger made a leaping grab at the center field wall to rob Jason Heyward of a two-run homer in the second inning.Putting a new touch on a Jackie Robinson Day tradition started by Roberts, the Cubs joined the Dodgers for a joint moment of reflection at the statue of the baseball great and civil rights legend located behind center field.
