Dansby Swanson delivers in clutch again as Cubs rally to beat Dodgers, record 10th straight win

Swanson opened the scoring gates for the Cubs in Dodger Stadium two innings before that when he collected the first two of his four RBI with a triple in the top of the seventh. Chicago scored three runs that frame in a surge capped by a Nico Hoerner single that drove Swanson home.

Hoerner and Swanson starred defensively as well.

Swanson dove to snag Kyle Tucker’s looping liner up the middle in the sixth inning, fittingly with Nick Offerman in the booth at the time wearing a Swanson jersey in honor of his fictional “Parks and Recreation” character, Ron Swanson.

In the seventh, Hoerner barehanded a Hyeseong Kim grounder that ricocheted off first baseman Michael Busch, jumping in the air to pluck the ball before firing a strike to pitcher Ryan Rolison, who had raced to first for the putout.

After Alex Bregman launched a game-tying, 408-foot blast to left field in the top of the eighth, the Cubs threatened to take the lead later that frame; however, the Dodgers had some nifty defense up their sleeve, too.

L.A. threw out a sliding Ian Happ at home, courtesy of a beautiful relay from center fielder Andy Pages to Kim on a Moisés Ballesteros double that had Happ making a beeline for the plate.

Earlier, in the fourth, Pages notably beamed a heat-seeking missile to throw out Busch at home.

The Dodgers made plenty of plays on a day that featured 10 strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings of work from their starter, Emmett Sheehan.

The Cubs, though, feasted on L.A.’s bullpen and pulled off what was, according to ESPN, their largest comeback win over the Dodgers since 1986.

“It's been so many different guys throughout this stretch here," Swanson said, per ESPN. “That's the whole purpose of having a team. We have a collective, great unit and a bunch of guys who want to compete and enjoy doing it together.”
