Déjà vu for Justin Wrobleski in homer-filled loss to the Cubs
Dodgers offense could not cope with another Justin Wrobleski outing in which he allowed four homers, losing to the Cubs
In a 10-5 loss to the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field, Los Angeles Dodgers' pitcher Justin Wrobleski experienced déjà vu with a heavy load of home runs. The Dodgers struggled offensively in the first inning, as five runs crossed the plate, including a 3-0 game due to one mistake turning into a pitcher's nightmare. Tommy Edman's home run set the tone for the Cubs, who countered with a two-run shot from Seiya Suzuki two batters later.
This became a trend, with Wrobleski allowing three more two-run homers, one of which was Michael Busch's fifth-inning solo shot. Despite Boyd's resilience, the Dodgers' bullpen failed to respond adequately, resulting in a final score of 10-5 in favor of the Cubs.
