Justin Turner and Adrian Gonzalez homered, and the Los Angeles Dodgers snapped Chicago's four-game win streak with a 5-2 victory over the Cubs on Wednesday night.
Gonzalez connected for a leadoff drive in the second and Turner belted a three-run shot in the third, helping Los Angeles bounce back after it scored just two runs in the first two games of the four-game series. Joc Pederson added an RBI single in the eighth for the NL West leaders, who had lost four of five overall.
J.P. Howell (3-1) replaced Mike Bolsinger with two out in the fifth and pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings for the win. Kenley Jansen got three outs for his 10th save in 11 chances.
Addison Russell had two hits and drove in a run for Chicago, which had won five of seven. The Cubs finished with nine hits, but left eight runners on base.
Russell's RBI double got Chicago on the board in the fifth, and the rookie came around to score when Anthony Rizzo bounced into a double play. Bolsinger then walked Kris Bryant before Howell struck out Miguel Montero for the final out.
Bolsinger allowed six hits and walked two while throwing 87 pitches, 54 for strikes. He also doubled over the head of center fielder Matt Szczur in the third and scored on Turner's two-out drive to left-center for his 10th homer.
Kyle Hendricks (2-4) lasted just five innings for Chicago. He hasn't recorded an out in the sixth in any of his last four starts.
